Evidence-based cancer research to help you navigate a complex and stressful journey

What does the research say about metronomic chemo with IV vitamin C?
Metronomic chemotherapy uses low, continuous doses to limit toxicity while slowing tumor growth. Several studies suggest IV vitamin C may complement it, protecting healthy cells while increasing oxidative pressure on tumor cells.
Educational platform only, Soraya does not provide medical advice. Always consult your healthcare team.
Does this sound familiar?
Overnight, you're expected to understand what's happening and how to proceed in the best way
A cancer diagnosis doesn't come with a map. While you're frightened, exhausted and short on time, the decisions pile up, and so does everyone's advice.
Everyone has an opinion
Family, doctors and forums all pull you a different way
Your mother, your partner, close friends, online forums, Facebook groups, your standard-of-care doctor, a specialist you found last night. Some speak from love, others from protocol or a hunch, and every one of them sounds certain.
And a hundred treatments
Ivermectin, fasting, keto, cannabis oil… which one actually works?
Off-label drugs, metabolic approaches, high-dose supplements, cancer vaccines. Some are backed by serious research. Some are pure hype. From where you're standing, they all sound equally promising, and equally risky.
So you do it alone, at 2am
Thirty tabs open, moving from “I think” to “the evidence shows”
You were never trained to read clinical studies, yet here you are, decoding dense papers on your own, trying to build a science-based approach when the stakes could not be higher. It's exhausting. And you shouldn't have to do it by yourself.
This is exactly why Soraya exists.
To turn that chaos into a single, navigable map, so you can spend your energy deciding, not searching.
Soraya brings the whole research landscape into a single platform, a curated research database, an impartial AI Navigator, and a Research Briefing matched to your cancer's characteristics. Here's what's inside, and exactly how to use it.
Research Database
Thousands of clinical studies, filtered and digested into clear topics and chapters you can actually navigate.
The difference a map makes when the stakes are this high.
The traditional approach
✕Solitary, chaotic searching across generic search engines.
✕High anxiety from dense jargon and complex methodology.
✕Awareness limited to what standard protocols cover.
✕Hard to validate off-label studies and innovations with your doctor.
The Soraya approach
✓A structured reading path with clear steps and focused curation.
✓An AI Navigator that translates complex studies into plain language.
✓Conversations with your doctor grounded in up-to-date research.
✓A direct bridge to your oncologist, studies ready, with full references.

Clinicians & professionals
Stay ahead of research that's doubling every few months, pull sourced Research Briefings for your consultations, and join an ecosystem built on evidence.
The research, organized
Four pillars. Hundreds of topics.
Treatments, supplements and protocols are read against the evidence behind them, and the database is updated continuously as research doubles roughly every three months.
Pillar 1
Dominating
Concepts & tools: how to read research, key biomarkers, and the evidence base on off-label drugs and supplements.
Pillar 2
Hacking
Treatments: the research on limiting side effects, and the studies on what influences the efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Pillar 3
Managing
Every stage: the literature on managing the disease as it evolves, from cachexia and ascites to rescue and remission-maintenance strategies.
Pillar 4
Critical Evaluation
Science vs. hype: we show where the evidence is thin and where it is stronger than the popular narrative suggests.
The AI Navigator draws exclusively from material published on Soraya, every claim cited, every source human-reviewed. It scans thousands of studies in seconds and surfaces the ones that reference your search terms.

Testimonials
What patients say
Real words from people who have worked with Mark Taylor. Individual experiences, shared as written, not results anyone should expect.
★★★★★
I have been a client of Mark Taylor's for 3 years. His knowledge of innovative and leading cancer treatments is first class… Working with Mark cuts out all the time wasted trying to navigate the many different treatments. I highly recommend his services.
Emma Sinclair
★★★★★
About a month after my diagnosis of stage IV pancreatic adenocarcinoma in January of 2022, I found Mark's Facebook group. I sent him a message looking for advice… and since then he has been persistent in giving me his opinion…
Joseph Sherretta
★★★★★
When I was declared stage 4 with a not so rosy prognosis, I literally could not find my way… Mark has been a trusted advisor now for over one year. His experience, his insight, his honesty and his being upfront (but caring) has resulted in his becoming a friend first rather than just a consultant. All cancer patients, regardless of type and stage, often find themselves facing that high wall of uncertainty, and I was no different… It is one thing to read or have knowledge about treatments and strategies, but quite another to have direct experience… I can't say enough about the support and help I have received from him. God bless everyone fighting this dreadful disease.
