Great question, we start with breast cancer for two reasons:

1. population is big enough for us to perfect our product, 1 in 8 women in the US will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their life time, Men will be diagnosed as well. 2. the complexity of breast cancer is less comparing to other types, and there are more very good oncologists in this area as well. Since we are small, we want to maximize the quality of the service with limited resources.

We will expand to other cancer types later on. Many cancer centers actually have a separate breast cancer department, examples in new york city: mount sinai dubin breast center
