The Cancer Treatment Organizer or CTO is a record-keeping tool for patients and their caregivers. This portable system offers a simple way, to keep all cancer-related records organized and easily accessible. The CTO was designed by a New Mexican cancer survivor (who runs a personal organizing business). After realizing how important it was to have prescription names, appointment times, test results, etc., with her as she went from doctor to doctor, she developed this system to help keep everything handy and organized.  Often times, one doctor needed details from another doctor; all she had to do was open her CTO and present the needed info.

The CTO is a lightweight, 13-pocket, portfolio with labeled sections. Patients can use it to file information on medical appointments, test results, medications, receipts, etc. Each CTO also includes information on local and national support resources.
