Cancer survivor Marty Tenenbaum believes he only survived melanoma because of personal connections that guided him through the maze of treatment options. In order to make this kind of information available to everyone, he is launching a Web application to bring together patients, physicians and scientists.
"I'm just trying to pull together all the pieces that are needed to do a real, rational attack on cancer," Tenenbaum says. The way to do that, he says, is to pull people out of their individual labs, offices and hospitals to collaborate in a way not possible before the Web and mobile technologies made it easy to pool vast amounts of information."
"How much of cancer could be turned into a manageable disease if we only knew what we knew?"
