PatientSavvy is a cancer-story discovery website. We help patients, caregivers, families, advocates, researchers, and the public find cancer stories from multiple original sources more easily. This Disclaimer explains the limits of PatientSavvy's content, classifications, summaries, labels, links, and source information.
PatientSavvy is provided for general informational, educational, and story-discovery purposes only.
PatientSavvy does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, clinical guidance, second opinions, or professional healthcare services.
Nothing on PatientSavvy should be used as a substitute for advice from a qualified physician, oncologist, nurse, pharmacist, genetic counselor, or other licensed healthcare professional.
Cancer diagnosis and treatment are complex and highly individualized.
A story about one person's cancer type, stage, biomarker, treatment, side effect, response, recurrence, remission, or outcome may not apply to another person.
Before making any medical decision, changing treatment, delaying treatment, stopping treatment, joining a clinical trial, taking medication, using supplements, changing diet, or relying on any story or information found through PatientSavvy, consult your healthcare team.
If you believe you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately.
PatientSavvy organizes stories from original sources. These stories reflect individual experiences and should not be interpreted as typical outcomes, guaranteed results, treatment advice, or evidence that a particular therapy will work for another person.
Cancer outcomes depend on many factors, including diagnosis, stage, tumor biology, biomarkers, prior treatment, age, other health conditions, access to care, timing, clinical-trial eligibility, and many other individual circumstances.
Use of PatientSavvy does not create a doctor-patient relationship, healthcare provider relationship, advisor relationship, fiduciary relationship, or other professional relationship between you and PatientSavvy.
PatientSavvy does not review your personal medical history and cannot determine what diagnosis, treatment, test, medication, trial, or care plan is appropriate for you.
PatientSavvy is designed to help visitors discover stories and then read more from the original source.
PatientSavvy may classify, organize, label, summarize, or excerpt publicly available information from original sources. We aim to provide source attribution and links where available.
PatientSavvy does not claim ownership of third-party original stories, images, videos, articles, podcasts, case reports, names, logos, or other materials. Original materials remain the property of their respective owners.
Visitors should review the original source for the complete context.
PatientSavvy works with public source materials and classification processes. We try to make the information useful, consistent, and accurate, but errors may occur.
For example:
PatientSavvy does not guarantee that any classification, summary, label, treatment detail, biomarker, stage, outcome, source date, or source link is complete, current, or error-free.
PatientSavvy does not endorse any specific treatment, drug, biomarker test, genetic test, clinical trial, hospital, physician, product, service, website, publisher, nonprofit, patient organization, source, or medical approach.
A story appearing on PatientSavvy does not mean that PatientSavvy recommends the treatment, provider, organization, product, or decision described in that story.
PatientSavvy does not guarantee, predict, or represent any medical outcome.
Labels such as "Cancer-Free," "No Evidence of Disease," "Responding Well," "In Treatment," "Living with Cancer," or similar wording are simplified story-discovery categories. They should not be treated as medical conclusions, prognosis, or clinical verification.
Only a qualified healthcare professional with access to the patient's medical records can evaluate an individual patient's status.
Some stories may mention clinical trials, compassionate-use programs, off-label treatment, self-funded treatment, experimental treatment, international treatment access, or treatments available only in specific countries or time periods.
Mention of a treatment or clinical trial does not mean that it is safe, effective, approved, available, affordable, appropriate, or recommended for another person.
Consult your healthcare team before considering any clinical trial or treatment option.
PatientSavvy may display biomarker, genetic, genomic, receptor, mutation, or testing information when it appears in source materials.
This information may be incomplete, simplified, outdated, or specific to one patient's tumor and testing history. Biomarkers can change over time, and test interpretation depends on the cancer type, testing method, specimen, disease stage, and clinical context.
Do not rely on PatientSavvy to interpret your biomarker or genetic test results. Discuss test results with your oncologist, pathologist, genetic counselor, or qualified healthcare professional.
PatientSavvy links to third-party websites and original sources.
PatientSavvy does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, medical accuracy, privacy practices, terms, security, availability, advertising, tracking, or future changes.
When you visit a third-party website, that website's own terms and privacy policy apply.
Some stories may include names, images, portraits, videos, or other information that appeared in publicly available original sources.
PatientSavvy's inclusion of such materials is intended to support story discovery, source identification, and access to original sources. It does not imply that the patient, author, publisher, hospital, nonprofit, or source owner has endorsed PatientSavvy.
If you are a patient, caregiver, author, publisher, source owner, copyright owner, or authorized representative and want content removed or corrected, contact us.
PatientSavvy respects patients, caregivers, authors, publishers, hospitals, nonprofits, media organizations, and other source owners.
If you believe a story, image, link, summary, classification, label, or other content should be removed, corrected, updated, or restricted, contact us at medxact@gmail.com.
Please include:
We will review requests in good faith and may remove, update, de-index, correct, or restrict content where appropriate.
PatientSavvy does not intend to replace original sources or misrepresent ownership of third-party content.
If you believe content on PatientSavvy infringes your copyright or other rights, contact us at medxact@gmail.com. We may remove or restrict content while we review the request.
PatientSavvy is provided "as is" and "as available."
To the fullest extent permitted by law, PatientSavvy makes no warranties about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, medical usefulness, availability, security, or fitness of the website or its content.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, PatientSavvy and its owners, operators, contributors, service providers, and affiliates are not liable for any harm, loss, claim, injury, medical decision, treatment decision, delay in care, reliance, misunderstanding, third-party website issue, data issue, classification error, or other damage arising from your use of PatientSavvy.
