Oncology Explorer
Look up cancer genes, variants, molecular profiles, evidence items, assertions, therapies and diseases, with live data from CIViC (Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer). Searches go straight from your browser to CIViC and are not stored by OncoGx. It is for education and research, not for making treatment decisions.
Trials & Drug Intelligence Explorer
Search cancer clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov (status, phase, eligibility summary, locations) and FDA drug information from openFDA (labels, approval history, adverse-event reports and recalls) side by side. Searches go straight from your browser to the public sources and are not stored by OncoGx. It is for education and research, not for making treatment decisions.
Biology & Variant Interpreter
Look up a gene, variant (HGVS or rsID) or protein and see genomic, protein, pathway, interaction and literature context from public sources such as Ensembl, MyGene.info, MyVariant.info, UniProt and Europe PMC. Searches go straight from your browser to those sources and are not stored by OncoGx. It is for education and research, not for interpreting an individual patient's result.
Community outreach toolkits
For community health workers, school nurses, public-health teams and patient groups. A simple session plan:
- Open (5 minutes): play a one-minute trailer, such as The Story of Cancer in 20 Slides.
- Learn (15 minutes): walk through the symptom explorer or screening basics, depending on the audience.
- Check (5 minutes): use the myth vs fact cards as a group quiz.
- Act (5 minutes): hand out the appointment checklist and local service details.
Waiting-room display content
- Posters: know what is normal for you, screening is for people who feel well, bring your questions.
- Screens: trailers loop well with captions on and sound off.
- Leaflets: print the appointment checklist.
Referral-readiness education for patients
Patients who understand why they are being referred are more likely to attend and less likely to be frightened. Consider pointing patients to:
- Understanding referrals: what an urgent or suspected-cancer referral means, and that most referrals do not find cancer.
- Waiting for results: practical coping and follow-up prompts.
- The question generator: patients arrive with focused questions.
Editorial standards
All content is written in plain language, avoids hype and fear, states uncertainty honestly, and cites named sources. Evidence statuses in films and test explainers use a consistent reality scale: guideline-standard, approved for specific uses, investigational, and theoretical. Full details are in the editorial policy.
Content governance
| Element | How it works |
|---|---|
| Ownership | Every page and resource has a named content owner. |
| Clinical review | Medical content is reviewed by a qualified clinician before publication. |
| Review schedule | At least every 12 months, and sooner when guidelines or evidence change. |
| Status labels | Resources show "Reviewed" with a date, or "Review pending". |
| Corrections | Errors reported by email to hello@oncogx.com are triaged promptly. |
Safety and escalation language
Every symptom-related page uses consistent, calm escalation wording. You can reuse it in your own materials:
"This symptom can have many causes. Some are not cancer. If it persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning signs, speak with a healthcare professional."
"If you are experiencing severe or rapidly worsening symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, heavy bleeding, confusion, fainting, sudden weakness, or severe pain, seek emergency medical care immediately."
We avoid phrases such as "you may have cancer", "diagnose yourself" or "order now".
Using and adapting materials
You may print and share OncoGx resources for non-commercial education, with credit. Please do not change medical content. If you need a localised version (language, local services, local screening ages), contact us and we will work with you.
