CancerLens | Making Cancer Information Trustworthy and Accessible CancerLens is an AI-powered cancer information discovery and misinformation verification platform built for the Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon 2026. Our mission:*Fight cancer by making trustworthy cancer information easier to access and misinformation easier to recognize. CancerLens addresses two critical challenges: the complexity of understanding cancer-related medical information and the spread of misleading cancer claims across social media and the internet. Powered by Meta's AI models, CancerLens is designed around two core experiences: - Learn & Explore: Understand cancer types, symptoms, risk factors, screening, diagnosis, and treatments through clear, accessible explanations backed by authoritative medical sources. - Evaluate Claims: Analyze cancer-related claims submitted through text, screenshots, or URLs, compare them against curated medical evidence, and receive nuanced assessments with traceable citations. What makes CancerLens different is its emphasis on evidence transparency, context-aware claim evaluation, identification of related misinformation, and clear communication of scientific uncertainty rather than simplistic true-or-false answers. Built with patient safety and trust at its core, CancerLens is strictly an educational tool, not a medical diagnosis or treatment service. The vision is simple: Empower people to question misinformation, understand the evidence, and make more informed conversations possible.
