Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Mayo Clinic (Patient Education): Major academic medical center with a broad patient education library covering cancer and survivorship. Comparable as an academic-medical-center-backed authoritative source for cancer patients; far larger institution overall.
• American Cancer Society: National non-profit providing cancer education, patient support, and survivorship resources across all major cancer types. Directly comparable to OncoLink's educational content and survivorship tooling with a much larger national footprint and fundraising machine.
• Memorial Sloan Kettering (Patient Education): Leading US cancer center publishing detailed patient-facing cancer guides, survivorship materials, and clinical trial information. Comparable academic-cancer-center-backed education model and survivorship content comparable to OncoLife.
• National Cancer Institute (NCI): US federal government source for cancer information including PDQ summaries, treatment options, and clinical trial listings. Comparable comprehensive cancer education, with stronger regulatory authority but less interactive survivorship tooling.
• Macmillan Cancer Support: UK-based cancer charity providing cancer information, nurse-led support, and financial/employment guidance to patients and caregivers. Comparable as a multi-channel cancer information and support platform, though serving a different geography.

Emerging players

• Stupid Cancer: US-based charity specifically focused on the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer population. Comparable as a niche cancer support/education resource and existing OncoLink referral partner; addresses an overlapping AYA audience.

Direct peers

• Livestrong Foundation: Non-profit providing cancer survivorship support, educational resources, and AYA-focused programming; existing referral partner of OncoLink. Directly comparable mission on survivorship, fertility, and practical concerns after cancer treatment.
• Cancer.Net (American Society of Clinical Oncology): ASCO's patient-facing cancer information site offering medically reviewed oncology content, survivorship resources, and physician-vetted guidance. Directly comparable in editorial mission and target audience to OncoLink.
• Triage Cancer: Non-profit providing cancer survivorship education through events, speakers' bureaus, and online materials on insurance, employment, and financial concerns. Direct functional overlap with OncoLink's survivorship and practical-concerns content, and existing OncoLink partner.

Regional players

• Cancer Research UK: UK-based charity offering comprehensive cancer information, treatment explanations, and patient support content. Comparable cancer education model serving a different (UK/global) geographic market.
