What is it about?

During their visit to cancer clinics for treatments, the medical information sheets given to patients provide useful information about drug(s) and the list of side effects but do not provide the rationale, mechanism of action and the benefit of these treatments over a long interval of time. In addition, the level of patients’ understanding of these crucial pieces of information remains questionable at best. The challenge is to bridge this gap of information and facilitate the explanations from oncologists to let the patients easily understand all the information needed. Furthermore, the Oncologist’s time may also be saved otherwise consumed in subsequent visits by patient/s.
