Oncologists are Overwhelmed
● 12,940 Oncologists1
○ By 2025, there would be a shortage of ~2,250 oncologists2
● 1.7MM new diagnoses per year
● 134 specialists per 10,000 in urban vs. 40 per 10,000 in rural areas3
● NCI lists 607 approved or standard treatment options4
○ Even more treatment options in development
● NCCN has 72 treatment guidelines by cancer type5
○ Each guideline is 100-300 pages
○ Complexity of guidelines is increasing6
○ Many cancers have 30+ recognized sub-types with different accepted treatments
● There are 432 genes and more than 2,300 actionable variants implicated in cancer7
○ 457 different drugs targeting those genes/variants 1. https://www.asco.org/research-guidelines/reports-studies/state-cancer-care. 2. https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.1200/JOP.2013.0013193. https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/challenges-rural-cancer-care-united-states4. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/drugs5. https://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/default.aspx#site

Opportunity: Generate Insights Outside of Clinical Trialsclinical trial
2-4 years
Excluded from clinical trials
• Advanced cancer kills over 600,000 annually in the US
• >95% of patients cannot participate in clinical trials
Therapy 1
“Fewer than 1 in 20 adult cancer patients enroll in cancer clinical trials. But although barriers to trial participation have been the subject of frequent study, the rate of trial participation has not changed substantially over time. Barriers to trial participation are structural, clinical, and attitudinal, and differ according to demographic and socioeconomic factors. . .”
