Top Skills
What We Do
Increasing Accessibility to Clinical Trials and Personalized Cancer Treatment Options.
Every cancer patient is different and deserves treatment of the highest quality that is personalized, affordable, and easily accessible.
Massive Bio translates the world-class oncology knowledge of the large cancer centers' experts, facilitates a virtual tumor board collaboratively with the treating oncologist, and advises the patient and treating oncologist to operationalize these expert recommendations at the point of care thereby, eliminating additional time, travel, and cost.
85% of US cancer patients receive treatments in community practices where treating oncologists are overwhelmed with the influx of new tests and treatments while trying to manage their busy practices. We believe all cancer patients deserve equal access to the latest in cancer research and treatment
