Taxonomy (NCIt, OncoTree, ICD), epidemiology (registries), genomics (open cohorts), variants and curated evidence (CIViC, ClinVar), therapies and regulatory status (by jurisdiction), clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov), and literature (PubMed) — linked through stable public identifiers and explicit match types.

Researchers, clinicians, analysts, journalists, patient advocates and developers who need the number and where it came from. The public API mirrors the site so nothing on the page is unavailable programmatically.

  • No number without a source, a retrieval date and — when derived — a formula version.
  • No invented, estimated or placeholder statistics. Missing data is shown as missing.
  • No composite "worst cancer" score that hides its weights.
  • No medical advice: CancerIndex is not a physician, does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment.
  • No AI-generated synthesis in this phase; all text is sourced or fixed methodology.

CancerIndex is designed, built and maintained by{' '} . Questions, corrections, licensing concerns and collaboration requests: {CONTACT_EMAIL}.

The platform — database, ingestion workers, API and web application — is hosted on{' '} {HOSTING_NAME} {' '} (www.maclustr.io), a private Apple-silicon compute cluster, and published through the MacLustr Tunnel.

The taxonomy backbone is live; epidemiology, genomics, trial and literature connectors are being brought online one at a time, each after a license review. Follow progress on the source registry and read the methodology.
