Cancer patients and their doctors choose from a range of different treatment options. But often the chosen treatment is ineffective, reducing quality and length of life and increasing cost.

All4Cure has built a patient-centered, web-based, knowledge sharing platform that graphically portrays treatments and responses extracted from the medical records of de-identified patients with multiple myeloma (the second most common form of blood cancer) for comment by a community of participating patients, clinicians and researchers. Having assembled more than 580 participants we will describe examples of patients have benefited from their participation.
