Good cancer care starts with good cancer information. Well-informed patients are their own best advocates and invaluable partners for physicians. Cancer.Net provides trusted, authoritative information for people living with cancer and those who care for and about them. All of the information on Cancer.Net and in ASCO’s patient education materials is reviewed by oncologists and other oncology professionals who are ASCO members, making ASCO materials a current and trusted resource for cancer information. All ASCO patient education materials are made possible by The ASCO Cancer Foundation.
