Needs of modern oncology

• Managing diagnostic and therapeutical paths
  inside
• intradisciplinary care groups

Data are available and must be collected in
different places at different moments in
different ways and with diverging goals

Sharpness of clinical trials hardly adapt to the
needs of routinary medical assistance

• Necessary data for such analysis are seldom
  collected in clinical practice
• They are not easily collected in such conditions
  as to make statistical analysis possible

The system stores all relevant events concerning 
patients (diagnostic, therapeutic, decisional),
thus enabling the creation of a clinical
meta-folder, useful to build a thorough vision
of  the patient and a statistical post-processing
of data finalized to research and scientific
publications
On palm device you can
Search a patient

Spiders Net creates a virtual oncological
department. It helps management of waiting lists,
reception and demission processes. When

therapy files are managed as well. All this is
valid across all of the different operating units
and specialists who take care of the patient.
