OnCo

Active·★ 237·MIT·Updated 2026-10-21
★ Hidden Gem

OnCo is an open, cited knowledge graph dedicated to cancer, aiming for total information dominance across all aspects of the disease. It provides a comprehensive repository of data, research, treatments, and patient information accessible via a website, static JSON API, and command-line tools.

OnCo sits in the RAG / Knowledge Base category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Interactive Website Interface: Offers filters, tooltips, molecule renderings, a graph explorer, and an 'Ask OnCo' question answering system.. A representative use case is Patients and Carers: Access plain-English information on cancers, treatments, side effects, and evidence-graded complementary approaches.. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 237. Relevant tags include Oncology, Knowledge Graph.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
