Clinical review

Reviewer: Sarah Wang, Pharmacist
Date of review: August 2025
Platform: Android, Apple
Version: 5.23.3
Comments: The BELONG Beating Cancer Together app 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 clinical 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 your oncology team.
Safety concerns: Peer advice from other users may not always be clinically accurate.
New Zealand relevance: None, but some investigations and treatments discussed in the app may not be available in New Zealand or may require private funding. Some clinical trials discussed may not be accessible in New Zealand or may require overseas access.
