Built by a caregiver, for caregivers

You shouldn't have to understand oncology to advocate for someone you love.

OncoKind translates your loved one's pathology report into plain English, prepares you for every oncology appointment, and guides your family through every step of the cancer journey — without survival statistics, without fear.

What This Means
Stage IV means the cancer has spread beyond the vulva. The care team will review imaging and other findings to determine the treatment plan. Many options remain on the table and your oncologist will walk through each one.

Key Biomarkers

HPV Status: Positive (p16+)

HPV-positive vulvar cancer is associated with certain immunotherapy eligibility and can influence treatment planning. This is an important finding to discuss with the oncology team.

PD-L1 (CPS): ≥10 — Positive

A CPS of 10 or higher may make your loved one eligible for pembrolizumab (immunotherapy). Your oncologist will evaluate whether this is part of the treatment plan.

BRCA1/2: Negative

No hereditary BRCA mutation detected. This affects some targeted therapy options, and your oncologist may recommend additional molecular testing.

I had never heard about clinical trials. No one ever brought them up with me. I was so shocked I didn’t know about this.

When you search for cancer information, you get survival statistics.OncoKind doesn't work that way.

Why this exists

Why this exists — and why it's personal.

Founder's mother

Dedicated to my mom, who faced her cancer with more courage than I've ever had to.

“I built OncoKind because my mom fought Stage 4 cancer, and I had no idea what any of it meant. She passed away on July 4, 2026. I lost my grandmother to cancer at 9. My grandfather at 15. My dad had a kidney removed at 16. My cousin — who was more like a brother — died one month after his diagnosis at 28. And when my mom's diagnosis came, I still couldn't read her pathology report. I still didn't know what her biomarkers meant. I still sat in a waiting room without the questions I should have been asking. Every feature in OncoKind exists because a family needed it and couldn't find it anywhere. This is the tool I wish I had.”
