Oncology guides,organized by where it starts.
Plain-language guides across the cancers we cover, grouped by site. Each reads from plain language up to clinical detail, with recruiting trials one step away.
Breast cancer
A cancer that starts in the cells of the breast. Type, stage, biomarkers, and your overall health shape treatment and next steps.
Ovarian cancer
Cancers that start in or on the ovaries or related tissues. Subtype and stage determine whether surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination is discussed first.
Non-small cell lung cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. The next steps usually focus on confirming the exact type, finding out whether it has spread, and checking whether the cancer has markers that can guide treatment.
Colorectal cancer
A cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. Treatment depends on where it starts, how far it has spread, and the specific tumor features.
Pancreatic cancer
A cancer that starts in the pancreas. Where it sits in the pancreas and whether it can be removed with surgery guide the first conversations about treatment.
Melanoma
A skin cancer that starts in pigment-making cells. Depth, spread to lymph nodes or elsewhere, and molecular test results guide surgery, immunotherapy, or targeted drugs.
Prostate cancer
A cancer that starts in the prostate gland. Risk group, stage, and your goals for quality of life shape whether active surveillance or treatment is recommended.
