1. Why do you prefer Oncocentric.com searches instead of well-known search engines like Google?
"The Oncocentric website is not going to take you to useless blogs or load you with commercial information. Search results are packaged into manageable and relevant database modules that help a focused review of information."
2. Give an example of a case when Oncocentric was helpful?
"I have had several patients present with disease states where controversy about the 'standard' therapy exists. Getting input from experts and colleagues really helps put things in perspective and guide decision-making. I have searched to clarify drug information, study clinical trial data about certain diseases, and review clinical trial information to support treatments."
3. How do you think Oncocentric can help address upcoming challenges of caring for cancer?
"We will soon be inundated with molecular tests, important new drugs, and patients requesting 'individualized' treatments. Oncocentric portal will help focus our attention to relevant data we can use to practice in that complex environment."
4. How can physicians use this portal?
"The site is free for registered physicians and takes a few moments to join. The portal is interactive and easily becomes a useful daily place to learn what other physicians are thinking and keep informed of disease information." |
