Clinical review

Reviewer: Sarah Wang, Pharmacist
Date of review: August 2025
Platform: Android, Apple
Version: 5.23.3
Comments: BELONG – Beating Cancer Together is a comprehensive digital support platform for people with cancer and their families, offering community connection, supportive tools, and access to global clinical trial information. However, users in New Zealand should be aware that not all treatments, investigations, or trials discussed in the app are available locally. The app is best used as a complementary support tool, while all decisions about treatment access and suitability should be made in consultation with the oncology team.
Safety concerns: Peer advice from other users may not always be clinically accurate.
New Zealand relevance: No
Concerns: Some investigations and treatments discussed in the app may not be available in New Zealand or may require private funding. Some trials discussed may not be accessible in New Zealand or may require overseas access.
