There are more than 13 million people living with cancer in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute, but researchers and doctors hoping to develop better treatments can only learn from a tiny percentage of them, according to Nat Turner.
据美国国家癌症研究所(National Cancer Institute)称,全美癌症患者共有1300多万人。但据奈特o特纳说,那些希望能开发出更好治疗方案的研究人员和医生却只能针对其中很小一部分人开展研究。
Along with Zach Weinberg, Turner is a co-founder ofFlatiron Health, a two-year-old healthcare technology company based in New York and best known for recently raising $130 million in an investment round led by Google Ventures GOOG -1.34% . Turner believes that his company’s “cloud-based data platform” for oncology can help gather data on a disease that affects 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women. Despite more than a million cancer diagnoses in the U.S. each year, the field lacks sufficient data to improve treatment of it, he said.
特纳和扎克o维恩伯格都是Flatiron Health公司的联合创始人。这家医疗保健技术公司位于纽约,成立才刚两年。最近它刚拿到谷歌风投(Google Ventures)领衔投资的1.3亿美元,名噪一时。特纳相信,他们公司打造的肿瘤学“云数据平台”可以帮助收集那些影响一半男性及三分之一女性的癌症相关数据。他说,尽管美国每年确诊的癌症有上百万例,但却一直缺乏足够的相关数据去改进癌症治疗方案。
