cancer-research

cancer-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from romeo111/OpenOnco. It costs 146 tokens per session (1,783 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for compiling cancer treatment information, including established treatments, clinical trials, and emerging therapies for a specified cancer and patient context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate treatment options, clinical trials, immunotherapy, cancer research, or strategies related to extending life; decisions must be made with an oncology team.
Why use it?
It organizes complex oncology research and ranks information, while making clear that the result is educational research rather than medical advice.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cancer-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cancer Research — Maximum Life Extension Treatment Planner

Purpose

This skill performs deep, systematic research into cancer treatment options for a given cancer type. It produces a comprehensive, evidence-ranked treatment plan that maximizes patient life extension, drawing from established protocols, clinical trials, emerging therapies, and cutting-edge research.

IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: This skill generates research-grade information summaries. All output must include a prominent disclaimer that this is NOT medical advice and patients must consult their oncology team before making any treatment decisions. This tool is for research and educational purposes only.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse the Input

Extract from the user's query:

  • Cancer type (required) — e.g., "pancreatic adenocarcinoma", "NSCLC", "triple-negative breast cancer"
  • Stage (if provided) — I through IV, or specific substaging
  • Molecular markers (if provided) — e.g., EGFR+, HER2+, BRCA1/2, MSI-H, PD-L1 expression, KRAS G12C
  • Patient context (if provided) — age range, prior treatments, comorbidities
  • Country/region (if provided) — affects clinical trial availability and drug approvals

If the user provides only a cancer type, proceed with a general overview across all stages. Ask clarifying questions ONLY if the cancer type itself is ambiguous.

Step 2: Research Strategy

Perform web searches across multiple evidence tiers. Use 10–20 searches to build a comprehensive picture. Search categories:

Tier 1 — Standard of Care (SoC)

Search for NCCN guidelines, ESMO guidelines, and current first-line protocols. Example queries:

  • [cancer type] NCCN guidelines 2025 2026
  • [cancer type] standard of care first line treatment
  • [cancer type] stage [N] treatment protocol
Tier 2 — Approved Targeted & Immunotherapies

Search for FDA/EMA-approved targeted therapies and immunotherapies.

  • [cancer type] approved targeted therapy 2025 2026
  • [cancer type] immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitor results
  • [cancer type] [known molecular marker] targeted therapy

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
