A computer system includes a database of pathology information for a plurality of patients including at least one current patient; a memory; and a processor configured to identify the at least one second practitioner based on a similarity between the patient-specific pathology of the at least one current patient and the similar patient of the at least one second practitioner; display an indication to the first practitioner that the at least one second practitioner has been identified while keeping the identity of the at least one second practitioner and the similar patient confidential; present the first practitioner with a control to communicate with the at least one second practitioner; receive, from the at least one second practitioner, discrete responses to questions regarding the similar patient; and determine, based on the discrete responses, a recommendation of a treatment for the at least one current patient.

Computer-implemented system and method for identifying similar patients

Provided are systems and methods for capturing outcome information associated with various cancer treatments. The system facilitates capture and analysis of cancer treatment information and associated outcome information. The treatment and outcome information can include genomic analysis and information on treatment of different cancers. The system can store and analyze any one or more of: tumor type, genomic alterations (e.g., genes and associated alterations, gene sequence mutations, alterations, amplifications, deletions, etc.), and treatment data (including, for example, treatments targeted to specific genes and/or genomic alterations). Users of the outcome system can supply and use the treatment and outcome information to facilitate diagnosis and therapy decisions. User interfaces within the system can be configured to allow users to easily locate outcome information associated with particular treatments of tumors having certain genomic alterations.

System and method for outcome tracking and analysis

A system for tracking and analyzing cancer treatment and outcome information includes a user interface (UI) component for allowing selection of an alteration, an affected gene, an affected pathway, a tumor type, and/or a treatment; a processor configured to receive treatment information and outcome information associated with a patient population; organize the treatment information and the outcome information into at least one tuple; and generate outcome summary information; and an analysis component configured to compare a current patient record for a current patient to existing treatment information for the patient population, identify similar patients in the patient population based on information in the current patient record, and filter a grouping of similar patients; the processor is further configured to display, on the UI component, the outcome summary information; enable navigation within the treatment and outcome information; and identify, based on the outcome information, an appropriate treatment for the current patient.
