Cancer Commons

Cancer Commons is a nonprofit, 'open science' initiative linking cancer patients, physicians, and scientists in Rapid Learning Communities. Their mission is to ensure that patients are treated in accord with the latest knowledge on targeted therapies and immunotherapies and to continually update that knowledge based on each patient’s response. The open science collaborative approach of sharing data will speed the discovery of new solutions. By including patients in the learning loop, Cancer Commons hopes to bring new findings about the latest treatments to those who urgently need answers beyond the standard of care.
