™THE RESEARCH BOUNDARY
Research questions.
Not medical answers.
canXcer currently works with general prostate-cancer questions and narrowly cleared public-research fields. It is a research-support platform, not a clinic or a physical laboratory.
What you may ask
Ask how a compound, natural source, gene, target, or pathway might relate to prostate-cancer research. A family experience may inspire the question, but please leave out the person's identity and medical details.
What you must not send
Do not submit patient records, personal genetic data or uploads, names, contact details, dates of birth, diagnoses, test results, private datasets, or controlled-access research data. Do not ask for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment decisions, or dosing.
What the public check does
It checks whether your wording appears to fit the current public research scope. This check does not save the question, search external sources, use AI, perform a virtual wet lab analysis, score a hypothesis, or generate a research report. Approved researchers and administrators can use separate private project tools to save cited research notes and run bounded citation searches; these tools do not test compound effects or cell responses.
What our research terms mean
A virtual wet lab analysis would be a reproducible computational investigation with stated inputs, model, conditions, method, and version—not an API lookup or literature search. A prediction would be a model estimate with assumptions, uncertainty, and validation status, never a measured outcome. A research signal would help a scientist prioritize questions, not assign a cure score or decide which physical lab study must happen. A comparison would first check whether sources, models, endpoints, and conditions can fairly be compared; “not comparable” is a valid result. These computational and scoring capabilities are not available through the public question check.
How results must be labeled
Measurements reported by a source, published findings, canXcer computational estimates, and AI explanations must remain visibly distinct and traceable. Citation search hits are leads, not reviewed findings. Missing or contradictory evidence stays visible; AI must not invent what is absent.
Who decides what comes next
canXcer does not claim a cure, diagnose disease, recommend treatment, or automatically direct a wet-lab experiment. Researchers and scientists retain those decisions. Future work on lupus or other diseases needs its own model and validation; a prostate-cancer result cannot simply be reused for them.
Important limitation
Automated checks cannot recognize every sensitive detail or every medical request. Do not rely on the checker to remove private information for you. If you need advice about a person's health, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
