USE CLINICAL DISCRETION — DO NOT SELF-EXCLUDE THESE PATIENTS
Earlier-stage solid tumor
Investigator discretion applies. Refer and let SOTERIA evaluate — do not self-exclude on behalf of the patient.
Brain or blood cancer
Evaluated individually. Not automatically excluded. Contact SOTERIA before assuming ineligibility.
Tissue unavailable
SOTERIA can assess whether upcoming procedures may yield tissue, or whether non-study navigation support is appropriate.
Non-military
Intelligence Community field agents and certain interagency personnel may also qualify. Please inquire.
Does not qualify for TargeTx
Non-study navigation support remains available — insurance navigation, lab assistance programs, and SOTERIA support funds.
Refer a patient directly
Share the SOTERIA’s Cancer Hunt information with the patient and direct them to self schedule an initial consultation with our team.
Request a discussion first
Prefer to discuss the patient before referring? Reach out to our team at support@soteriapmf.org and connect with us. Fill out the referral form and we will reach out to the patient directly.
