At diagnosis, people would be asked a single question: may we contact you about research that fits your cancer? Those who say yes would be findable by trial teams without repeated cold approaches.
A health-system-level consent-to-contact register, recorded in the EHR at diagnosis, allowing approved trial teams to approach registered patients whose records match a protocol. The UK's Be Part of Research and Scotland's SHARE register are precedents; the idea is to make the question a mandatory element of cancer diagnosis pathways and to link the register to matching tools.
