Our Motivation
Each one of us has been touched by cancer in some form. Each of us has a story (see below). We all share the pain and suffering that thousands of families and individuals have gone through. The pity of it is that much of this suffering can be avoided. The key is early detection.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide access to the latest in knowledge-based technologies to help people identify their risk of having cancer….early! It is our way of giving back. This site, My Cancer Check™ is the result.
What We Offer
We developed this site and a knowledge-base powered by the Coach Decision Support System, which identifies the risks factors associated with colon cancer. This knowledge is based on guidelines published by the American Cancer Society, Genetic Health, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other sources, and in consultation with medical experts. The system will identify the lifestyle, historical and genetic risks associated with colon cancer and provide a report to bring to your doctor to discuss diagnosis and prevention strategies.
