About Cancer.im

Founded in 2006, Cancer.im Inc. is a purpose-driven corporation with a mission "To Change The Way People View and Manage Cancer." Cancer.im is a for-profit social network that supports a parallel and independently run non-profit, known as the Cancer.im Foundation.

On October 27, 2007, Dr. Nikolaou, on behalf of Fox Chase Medical Center, published a double blind placebo controlled study titled "Quality of Life (QOL) Supersedes the Classic Predictors of Survival in Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)." This study concluded that by raising a cancer patient's quality of life via the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30 index), you could directly lower the incidence of morbidity in a cancer patient, regardless of treatment.

In 2008, Cancer.im CEO Chris Ryan with oncologist Dr. Mahesh Kanojia, Dr. Barkat Charania and Dr. Kevin Buckman adapted the above referenced study into a modular 15-part best practice navigation element and guide on teaching and assisting cancer patients in raising their quality of life.

In 2011 this adaption was published under the title "Method of Lowering a Cancer Patients' Morbidity Rate by Increasing Quality of Life of Patient, by Leveraging Cause Based Electronic Support Networks," and later renamed "The Robert Ryan Cancer Protocol" in honor of the cancer patient who inspired the study.

The Cancer.im Inc. vision is based on the Robert Ryan Cancer Protocol with a modular 15-part best practice guide on teaching and assisting cancer patients and their loved ones on the importance of Quality of Life and how to raise it when managing a diagnosis of cancer.

"Cancer.im is about empowering the cancer patients, caretakers and survivors of the network. It is an honor to serve this project, for it draws the best people who together through collaboration bring the best out of each other. The purpose of Cancer.im is to convert a cancer patient from hopeless to hopeful, while teaching their support network how to be helpful, while not being a hindrance," says Chris Ryan CEO Cancer.im Inc.

In 2017, there will be an estimated 1,650,000 new cancer cases diagnosed and 595,690 cancer deaths in the US. Cancer accounts for 1 in every 4 deaths, second only to heart disease as the most common cause of death. The monetary cost seems irrelevant to the loss of life. Overall direct costs for cancer care by 2020 are estimated to be $158 billion per year.
