Not medical advice

The Cancer Project shares information, stories, and conversations about cancer. Nothing on this website, including articles, podcast episodes, videos, patient stories, community posts, and resources, is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a medical recommendation for any person. It is not a substitute for advice from a doctor or other qualified health professional who knows your situation.

Never ignore professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read, watched, or heard here. Talk with your doctor or care team before making any decision about your health or treatment.

In an emergency

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.

No doctor and patient relationship

Using this website, listening to the podcast, contacting us, or submitting a story does not create a doctor and patient relationship with The Cancer Project or with any physician or expert who appears in our content.

Content we do not control

Not all content on this website is controlled by The Cancer Project or represents its views. Patients, caregivers, podcast guests, outside experts, and other organizations contribute stories, opinions, and information, and some content links to or summarizes work published elsewhere. Those contributors speak for themselves. Their views are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Cancer Project.

Every person's diagnosis, treatment, and experience is different. A story that describes one person's results does not mean anyone else will have the same outcome.

Research and news change

Medical research moves quickly. Articles and episodes reflect what was known when they were published and may not include later findings. We summarize research in plain language and link to the original source so you can read it in full.

Outside links, charities, and resources

We link to other websites, studies, charities, and organizations for your convenience. A link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of other websites.

Corrections
