What’s the difference between the “Regimen Name” and the “Medical Name”?
“Regimen Name” is a shorter, often abbreviated description of a regimen; like that used in common conversations among Oncologists. The “Medical Name” is a full description including both the brand and generic name. OncoPrescibe uses a specific format when using the Medical Name: BRAND NAME® (Generic Name).
-
If a regimen is listed for a specific disease/stage does that mean it is evidence-based?
Yes. Every regimen listed for ANY Diagnosis/Stage has published research to support use for that stage of the disease.
