LightWay | Find every treatment option, then reach it

Our process

We stay on the case from first records to treatment.

Finding and reaching the right treatment is full-time work, day and night: reading every paper, researching everything worldwide that could help, chasing the right contact for each step. No family should have to work like that. So that work is our process, and we stay on the case until treatment is moving.

The work splits into several routes and we work on them at the same time. Waiting to finish one route before starting the next is time a patient does not have.

Treatment lanes preview

01

Build the complete record

Every report, scan, and note goes into one private workspace, so nothing has to be found twice.

02

Analyze the tumor biology

We work through what is driving this tumor, and what that opens or closes for treatment.

03

Develop and rank the options

Every route gets compared on the same three things: evidence, timing, and what it asks of the patient.

04

Prepare and pursue access

We handle the outreach and the paperwork until a chosen route can actually start.

05

Keep the case current

New results change the plan, not just the file.

Inside the work

Your facts stay separate from everyone else's evidence.

Every patient's biopsy and test results are unique and different from what a published paper says happened to other patients with the same data. Some of the biggest treatment decisions have very little published evidence behind them. They are based on the facts of the case and the reasoning that followed from them.

Depth matters, but it still has to be readable.

Every patient's record will turn into hundreds of pages eventually. The hard part is not finding more information but keeping track of what matters the most, what supports those decisions and what is still needed for the next step. To make it workable, LightWay places every specific detail next to the conclusion it supports. This way, we can easily follow the logic and verify the reasoning without needing to read like a medical researcher.

Own record What we know about you

Your diagnosis, current disease state, previous treatments, response, available tissue, and test results.

Biology What your tumor may make possible

Mutations, expression levels, targets, immune signals, and other findings that may open or rule out a treatment path.

External evidence What we know from other patients

Published studies, approvals, clinical trial results, and case reports, kept separate from the facts of your own case.

Access work What needs to happen next

Reaching out to trials, talking with physicians, contacting manufacturers, working through regulatory options, and figuring out what is actually possible and how quickly.

What we do

We look at every treatment option that may fit your cancer.

Sometimes a medicine approved for some other disease can be useful for this specific disease, in a specific scenario that was never researched. The same applies to vaccines, peptide and mRNA, and to trials. For each patient: standard of care first, then every route beyond it, each tied to your own record.

See the two paths of care, and how they run together →

Standard of care

Put the current options in context

How well approved treatments actually fit your case, and what they leave uncovered when the system simply tells you to "wait and watch".

Trials

Find trials that fit the case

Studies that genuinely fit your biology and timing, and how to approach them before an eligibility rule quietly rules you out.

Targeted and off-label

Test drug ideas against the evidence

We check every out-of-the-box idea against the evidence before it goes anywhere near a decision.

Vaccine

Evaluate personalized vaccine paths

When the biology supports it, we map the peptide and mRNA routes: exactly what is needed, like coordinating with pathology to ship tissue and create an antigen, and how long it takes.

International

Look beyond the patient's country

If a treatment is abroad, we find it, and weigh it honestly against the financial stress and personal toll that travel demands of a family.

Hard-to-reach options

Build access routes for hard-to-reach options

For treatments with no obvious route, we do the relentless research and assemble the exact evidence a doctor, manufacturer, or regulator needs to say yes.

Getting treatment access

Finding a treatment option will not solve the problem.

We have to look for the right and all possible treatment options and make sure the patient is eligible for the treatment. It won't stop there. We have to find the right treatment centers, reach out to the trial providers, vaccine manufacturers and provide them the evidence needed to support the treatment. And keep following up until we get you an answer. We also help to get the off-label drugs, special access or regulatory pathways based on the record.

Care team

A decision-ready case packet

We prepare what a doctor needs to decide: current status, prioritized options, supporting evidence, unresolved questions, and the action each route requires.

Trial sites

Eligibility and outreach

Which studies are worth contacting, what they will ask for, and what could rule you in or out. Then the outreach itself: calls, emails, and finding the person who will actually help.

Drug companies

Manufacturer treatment requests

For drugs outside the usual route, we help assemble the medical rationale and supporting evidence a manufacturer needs.

Regulatory

Special approval pathways

Where it fits, we prepare the evidence a physician needs to request expanded access or a single-patient IND.

LightWay Hub

Everything about the case stays in one place.

Every hospital and clinic keeps its own copy of the records, and patients end up collecting, organizing, and sending them again for every new treatment. The Hub keeps the whole case together and current, for you, your family, and your care team.

LightWay Hub preview

Current status

What is true now and what needs attention

Disease state, recent changes, overdue follow-ups, and the next action.

Evidence

The reports and sources behind each finding

Every claim links back to the report it came from.

Tumor biology

Sequencing, mutations, expression, and immune markers

What makes this tumor specific, what may be targetable, and what needs confirmation.

Treatment choices

Every route and where it stands

What is available now, what requires an access request, and what needs more evidence.

Preparation

What should be ready before it is needed

Biopsies, stains, trial packets, and the questions to ask at the next appointment.

Tracking

What could change the plan later

Surveillance timing, milestones, trial changes, review dates, and open questions.

For the family around the patient

LightWay holds the case with you.

In most families, one person ends up taking on everything around the treatment: keeping the records together, researching trials, finding doctors, and coordinating second opinions. That becomes a second full-time job, taking nights and weekends. LightWay takes on the heavy work, while keeping you informed as the case changes and new options come up.

Status

See where things stand

Current status, recent changes, overdue follow-ups, and the next action are kept in one view.

Changes

Understand what changed

New scans, labs, pathology, or sequencing are compared with the prior record and the existing plan.

Preparation

Know what is being prepared

Treatment options, tissue checks, trial work, treatment request packets, and backup paths remain visible before they are needed.

Access

Move treatment access forward

We gather the evidence and the contacts, then help coordinate the route with the care team.

What would you tell a family on day one?

Don't panic. Cancer treatment is changing fast, and new options are becoming available all the time. The difficult part is often figuring out which ones may apply to you and how to actually get access to them. That is the part you can hand to us.

Your job as a patient is to keep going, stay hopeful, and focus on yourself. We will take on the work of finding and pursuing the paths that may be available.

Important boundary: LightWay does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your medical team. We organize, analyze, and prepare. Treatment decisions stay with the patient and their doctors.

Why LightWay exists

We built LightWay because we lived the problem.

In the patient's own words.

Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Ever since, I have been seeking better treatment: vaccines, a heated chemotherapy done during surgery, now mRNA. None of it was available for me, because of no evidence for my exact case. Every doctor, even the ones who knew a vaccine might help, said the same thing: wait and watch. Ultimately it was the system.

My husband has a medical background and a network of medical friends. He read through papers day and night, and talked to friends, friends of friends, and doctors of doctors, until he found a surgeon who agreed to do the procedure, and a clinic in Germany that could create a vaccine from my tumor. He convinced the pathology team to release my tissue, and he stayed on every department so everything would be ready when I arrived. All of this around a demanding full-time job.

It never ends. We still travel to Germany for the vaccine, now every three months. Each trip is a week of leave, flights, hotels, and leaving our six-year-old at a friend's home. We would have spent over a million dollars so far. We could carry it. Most families cannot.

To get the treatment done, we needed medical knowledge, network, money, high focus, maximum effort, and patience. If one is missing, the treatment cannot be completed. As a family, they should take care of the patient rather than doing all these things.

We do not want families to suffer and give up on their family member. We built LightWay to do this and we wanted to make this scalable and accessible to all. Our mission is that this help should reach every patient.
