Oncopaedia is an online collaborative learning resource for use by oncology professionals everywhere.

Our aim is to create one of the web's finest medical educational platforms to enhance the care of cancer patients worldwide. With your help, we hope to compile articles on every known cancer type, and we encourage all users to contribute anonymised case examples to each cancer article.

You can very easily begin editing this website yourself! You don't need to even sign up, but we recommend that you do so we can give you proper credit! You need only provide a username, an email (which you must verify), and a unique password. You can create (or update) articles immediately (subject to a moderation queue if you are new to prevent abuse), and, although our interface is still in development, you can also contribute case data to articles of your choice.

The oncology case information you can contribute includes (but is not limited to):

• Contoured CT or MRI images of the tumour in question, with or without treatment planning beams and dose distributions.
• Histopathology slides demonstrating the textbook microscopic appearance of that tumour subtype on biopsy.
• Immunohistochemical stain images showing which are used to positively and negatively discriminate tumour tissue.
• Pictures of the gross macroscopic appearance of the example cancer, with (if possible) video media showing its successful removal during surgery.
• Textbook radiological imaging of the cancer in situ, which we would encourage you to submit to Radiopaedia.org (with whom we have no affiliation!) as well.
• Genetic information from the types of tumour, and mutation signature of the tumour (if available).
• The latest medical treatment guidelines from your country of practice, to compare with oncology practice globally.
• Links to on-going clinical trials that are testing novel therapies and/or optimising drugs regimens for treating that specific cancer.

This website is primarily for use by medical professionals; however, the information contained within these articles is accessible to—and undoubtedly will be used by—cancer patients and their families. We aim to keep access to our website permanently free in the spirit of the #FOAMed movement.
