We help you find every treatment option, then reach it, and know what comes next.
When standard of care is not enough, LightWay takes on the hard casework. We read every report, dig into the tumor's biology, and work with you and your oncologist on the routes with real evidence behind them: drugs, trials, and vaccines, here or abroad.
Real people review every case. Every finding links back to your record. Decisions stay with you and your doctors.
Patients the standard menu was not built for.
A rare cancer with no trials
Your doctors have run through the studied options, and there is no trial open for your cancer. The options do not stop there. They just stop being handed to you, and someone has to go find them.
Standard of care is done
Treatment is complete and the plan is now "wait and watch." Waiting does not have to mean doing nothing. This is the time to know every route that exists for your case and prepare the ones worth preparing.
No evidence of disease after treatment
Your scans are clear, and the concern now is recurrence. This is the window where a personalized vaccine can be made from your own tumor, because there is time to build it.
A patient-first precision cancer therapy company.
The goal is for patients to get access to the best possible therapy for them, even if it is outside the standard of care. Everything begins with the tumor itself. From there, two ways we help. One or both may fit, depending on where the patient is right now.
A vaccine made from your own tumor
For patients with no evidence of disease after completing treatment. We sequence the tumor, find the mutations unique to it, and prepare a personalized vaccine against them. Your own doctor confirms it fits and administers it.
Building it takes time: sequencing, analysis, and manufacturing each take weeks. That is why it fits the window after treatment, when the time exists.
Reaching the right treatment
For patients who need options now. We analyze your record and your tumor's biology, grade every option by the evidence, and help you reach the one that fits best: an approved treatment, a clinical trial, or a special approval pathway.
Finding the option is half the work. The other half is the outreach, the eligibility questions, and the paperwork, and we stay on those until there is an answer.
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.
Build the complete record
Every report, scan, and note goes into one private workspace, so nothing has to be found twice. You sign once; we handle the requests and the follow-ups with each hospital.
Analyze the tumor biology
We work through what is driving this tumor, and what that opens or closes for treatment. Sequencing runs in a certified lab, and our own pipeline re-checks the results.
Develop and rank the options
Every route gets compared on the same three things: evidence, timing, and what it asks of the patient.
Prepare and pursue access
We handle the outreach and the paperwork until a chosen route can actually start. Your oncologist reviews the case, decides what fits, and leads the consent conversation.
Keep the case current
New results change the plan, not just the file. The case gets re-checked as new evidence appears, and you hear about it when it matters.
LightWay does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your medical team.
- We organize, analyze, and prepare. Treatment decisions stay with the patient and their doctors. That is the boundary, and it does not move.
- Your oncologist stays at the center. They review the case, decide what fits, obtain your consent, and administer treatment. We prepare a decision-ready case packet so their time goes to your care, not the paperwork.
- Real people review every case. Software keeps the case current; people make every judgment.
- Every finding links back to your record. Nothing in your case rests on "trust us." You can trace each claim to the report it came from.
Special approval pathways, in plain terms
For decades, the FDA has had pathways for a patient with a serious condition, no satisfactory approved options, and no suitable trial: expanded access and the single-patient IND.
They let your physician treat you with an investigational therapy, with FDA authorization, ethics board approval, and your written consent. Not a loophole. The rules working the way they were written to work.
Most families never hear about these pathways because the filings are complex and nobody is paid to do them for you. We prepare the evidence a physician needs to request them, before it is needed.
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.
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.
We built LightWay because families need it.
When standard of care is not enough, the searching lands on the family: reading the papers, chasing the right experts, keeping the records together, and fighting for access. That takes medical knowledge, a network, financial resources, focus, and patience. Most families will not have all five, and they should not need to.
We lived this once, end to end, and turned that work into a system. With LightWay, you get every treatment option found and checked against your own record, the access work prepared before it is needed, and the whole case in one place for you and your doctors.
The family takes care of the patient. LightWay carries the rest, so this help can reach every patient.
Asked plainly, answered plainly.
Is this FDA-approved?
Approved treatments and trials are part of the work, and where they fit your case, that is where we point. Personalized vaccines are investigational: access goes through the FDA's pathways, which means your oncologist, an ethics board, and the FDA each sign off on your specific treatment before it begins. Nothing happens outside those rules.
Do I have to leave my oncologist?
No. The opposite. Your oncologist stays at the center of the case. They get a decision-ready packet: current status, prioritized options, the evidence behind each, and what each route requires. They decide what fits, and they administer treatment. We carry the casework so their time goes to your care.
What does it cost?
You know the full cost before anything starts, and nothing gets added after the fact. For the vaccine, the manufacturing cost passes through to you without markup; FDA rules require that, and so do we. Our fee covers the casework: the analysis, the outreach, the filings, and staying on the case.
How long does the vaccine take?
From tissue to first dose is typically a few months. Sequencing, analysis, and manufacturing each take weeks. That is why the vaccine fits the window after treatment, when scans are clear and the time exists. If your situation is time-sensitive, the treatment access work moves first while the vaccine is considered.
Which cancers do you work with?
Solid tumors, rare or common. The vaccine is built from your own tumor's mutations, so it does not depend on having a common cancer type. Patients with rare cancers and no trials are a large part of why this exists. Whether it fits your case is worked out case by case, with your oncologist.
Can you promise this will work?
No, and nobody honestly can. What we can do: find every route with real evidence behind it, show you exactly why each one ranks where it does, prepare the access work before it is needed, and tell you straight when something is not right for your case, starting with the first call.
What do you need from me to get started?
Just the conversation, first. If we move forward, you sign a consent that lets us request your records, imaging, and stored tumor tissue from your hospitals. We handle the requests and the follow-ups from there. Nothing has to be found twice.
