DFCI Study is a research application from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the world's leading cancer centers. By downloading this app, you become a contributor to scientific research that could change the future of cancer treatment and general human health.
What is DFCI Study? DFCI Study is a secure, privacy-first platform that allows you to voluntarily share health information with researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Why Your Data Matters
Cancer research depends on large, diverse datasets. The more people who participate — regardless of whether they have a cancer diagnosis — the more powerful and representative the research becomes. Even general health data from healthy individuals helps establish critical baselines that researchers need.
