HemOnc.org - A Free Hematology/Oncology Reference

Created by oncologists as a knowledge base for providers, this site contains reference notes prepared by their peers and allows people to share wisdom and insights from their own clinical experiences.

Any information that one feels would be helpful to other oncology providers is welcome. Feel free to email the administrator at [email protected] to submit a chemotherapy regimen or other information. For now, all information here should be considered to be "beta"--that is, in the development phase. By using this site, you are indicating that you have read and agree with the terms set forth in the disclaimer. Initial priorities of this project will consist of:

1. Creating a database of chemotherapy agents.
2. Creating an index of diseases.
3. Creating a list of chemotherapeutic regimens and references to primary literature (PubMed and direct links to the abstracts/full articles).
4. Sample order sets and examples of supportive medications used with treatment regimens
5. Aggregating useful links to existing resources.

Additional possibilities for this project may include:

1. Creating summaries of pivotal clinical trials
2. Checklists for common clinical scenarios/diseases
3. Creating a list of active BIDMC clinical trials that can be used by current providers.
4. Creating checklists that can be used for patients starting therapy with particular regimens, such as laboratory & imaging (e.g. echocardiogram, PFTs) parameters to monitor and informed consent/discussion of side effects.
5. List of ICD-9 codes.

The field of hematology/oncology is ever-changing, and our hope is that other people will be interested in contributing to make it a far more useful resource. The rapidly evolving nature of the practice demands a more dynamic medium than existing resources can provide and would benefit from being able to be updated in real-time from virtually any computer with internet access. Although there is no formal protocol in place for peer review, the informal peer review and fact-checking that will take place by means of use of this site will be invaluable. We believe that the familiar format of a Wiki, made popular by sites such as Wikipedia, will significantly help ease-of-use and navigation.
