Frequently Asked Questions

Oncera is a survivorship intelligence platform designed to support people who have completed primary cancer treatment and are navigating remission or long-term survivorship. It aggregates hundreds of survivorship-relevant signals — including medical history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, recovery patterns, and trends over time — and helps users understand patterns associated with relapse-related risk, identify focus areas, and take informed, proactive steps between medical appointments.

No. Oncera is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or clinical decision-making system. It does not diagnose conditions, recommend treatments, or replace the care provided by licensed healthcare professionals. Oncera is an educational and informational platform that helps survivors organize survivorship-relevant information, understand patterns over time, and surface focus areas informed by survivorship research — all to support self-awareness and informed conversations with their care team.

Oncera surfaces focus areas informed by peer-reviewed survivorship research, some of which relates to factors that have been studied in connection with relapse-related outcomes. Importantly, Oncera does not calculate a "relapse risk score" or predict relapse. Instead, it highlights patterns and focus areas informed by survivorship research that may be associated with relapse-related risk. The goal is to support awareness, proactive habits, and informed discussions—not prediction or alarm.
