MedTrust Online to Provide NexCura Cancer Profiler Tools from Thomson Reuters to Oncologists
"This collaboration is another important step in helping oncologists
select the best therapies for their patients," said
Doctors visiting www.oncocentric.com can access the latest scientific literature, confirm drug information, identify appropriate clinical trials, and narrow databases of knowledge based on disease presentation. The portal also shares the latest information from MedTrust Online's board of oncology experts about difficult-to-treat and rare cancers and provides a forum where doctors can discuss treatment options with experts and other oncologists. With NexCura's Profiler Tools integrated into the portal, doctors can conduct searches across multiple databases of clinical information and build profiles of cancer cases that require more involved investigation and present personalized treatment information for the patient.
"For the first time, several key sources of knowledge that doctors rely on and the everyday need to consult informally with colleagues and experts have been addressed in one simple-to-use interface," Dr. Yoo said.
