A "Safety Net" for Your cancer journey - guided, simplified & personalized

"we looked at everything."

Some call it patient advocacy, some call it patient navigation. We go far beyond both with Cancer Beacons. A beacon is a guide and we are strong believers in a personal, guided, patient experience for all cancer patients, adult and pediatric.

Our healthcare systems have eroded to the point where communication and innovation are not only severely restricted, they are almost discouraged, resulting in a missing but much needed new layer of support. We fill that void by working with you and your team to ensure that "nothing is left on the table."

What we help with is:

  • Accessing functional precision (personalized) medicine (live tissue drug screening)
  • Off-label use / drug repurposing insurance approvals
  • Understanding and navigating off-label use state law hurdles
  • Clinical trial search, anecdotal to-date results from PI's, selection
  • Peer-reviewed paper search to share with your provider
  • 1-on-1 conversations between us and your team leads
  • What questions to be asking your team
  • Ongoing communication with your entire medical team
  • Medical tech talk translation / interpretation
  • Second opinion coordination
  • Virtually attending meetings with your team, even clinic visits
  • Impassioned compassionate use pleas to drug manufacturers
  • Assistance with CVS Specialty setup and ongoing navigation
  • And so much more

our world-first approach

We aim to work alongside you as well as to integrate with your team so that we can provide seamless end-to-end support as the answers for some of the toughest cases reside in the wild west which can be too time consuming for medical teams, difficult for patients to comprehend, and tricky to get timely insurance approval for, or approved at all. Avoiding treatment delay is a critical component to cancer care and we work magic in this regard.

Our results speak for themselves as we have facilitated many "better than would have been" outcomes for patients, highlighted by one patient given two weeks to live with the case declared "inoperable" in early 2023. We quickly stepped in, coordinated a 2nd opinion by the best-in-class team in less than 24-hours. The result was the patient relocated temporarily to receive a gross total resection, and is still alive today with no evidence of disease. This is just one of many examples.

We are led by our co-founder who is a member of the Medulloblastoma Working Group, the Ependymoma Working Group, the Society for Functional Precision Medicine and is, because of this line of specialized work, is also a Special Guest Lecturer at Harvard Medical School.

The story of how this all came to be, can be seen here in a story done by Fox.

Special note, we do not and are not allowed to, by law, give medical advice. We instead aim to help ensure you do get the best advice possible from the best medical professionals out there.
