Every recommendation traces back to published evidence.
We build on the work of the major oncology bodies and the peer-reviewed literature behind it, and we show our sources.
How we decide what belongs here
We start from the strongest evidence available and work down, and we're clear about which is which.
Randomized trials and meta-analyses
The highest bar when available.
Systematic reviews and guidelines
International clinical guidance and the reviews behind it.
Expert consensus statements
Reasoned practice from oncology societies.
Mechanism and plausibility
Included only when useful, and clearly labeled as such.
We show our work
For each recommendation, we point to the specific study, guideline, or mechanism behind it, and we label the strength of the evidence honestly. When the evidence is weak or mixed, we say so plainly. We would rather lose a sale than overstate a benefit.
Used when a recommendation is backed by clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or clinical guidelines.
Peer-reviewed literature and guidance bodies such as MASCC, NCCN, ASCO, ESMO, and ESPEN.
Used when an approach is promising, but still being studied, or when the evidence base is not yet mature.
Published studies, reviews, and mechanisms labeled without overstating certainty.
Used for reasonable practice drawn from consensus statements or oncology-supportive-care experience.
Consensus statements and guidance from oncology and supportive-care organizations.
Used for comfort-oriented items only, with no efficacy claim and no suggestion that they treat cancer or treatment effects.
Clearly labeled comfort rationale, separate from clinical-evidence claims.
The guidance we build on
Our content and product standards draw on the supportive-care guidance of the major oncology organizations.
Honest language
"Clinically studied" is not the same as "clinically proven," and we don't blur the two. You will never see miracle-cure claims, fear-based marketing, or any suggestion that a product treats cancer.
Our products support comfort and quality of life alongside medical care, never in place of it.
Independent by design
LifeAtomiX has no institutional affiliation and answers to no sponsor. When a relationship could shape what we recommend, such as an affiliate link or supplier arrangement, we disclose it. Our loyalty is to patients and to the evidence.
Who's behind it
LifeAtomiX was created by a medical physicist in radiation oncology, out of a conviction that supportive care should begin at diagnosis. Our clinical advisory board is in formation, and our standards will keep rising as it grows.
