2. Review potential matches

See why a study may fit, what information is missing, and what participation involves. The research team determines final study eligibility.

You can save the basics in the private application and return later. Health history, medications, prior treatments, family history, and military-service information are optional progressive sections.

Choose research interests, study types, specimen or intervention willingness, travel radius, virtual participation, and contact frequency. Self-reported information stays labeled as participant reported.

You stay in control

Researchers cannot browse identifiable participant profiles. You can pause matching or contact, withdraw network participation, or request deletion through your private profile. Network withdrawal is separate from leaving a study you joined with a research team.

Study compensation and travel reimbursement vary. Confirm requirements and any payment with the study team. canXcer does not determine treatment or guarantee eligibility, acceptance, compensation, or a study place.
