ABOUT CANCERPAGE

CANCERPAGE, YOUR CANCER COMMUNITY ONLINE. 

Created for patients and their loved ones, we are your trusted source for the latest news, research, and information on prevention, detection, and treatment. We're here as a complete cancer information and community resource to help at a time when you or your loved ones may be frightened or uncertain. 

CANCERPAGE BELONGS TO YOU. 

You choose what you want from this online community. Read plain-English articles reviewed by medical experts about the type of cancer that has touched your life or the life of someone you love. Find out what treatments seem to work best, alternative approaches to wellness and recovery, and read the stories of others going through their own journeys with cancer. Keep a journal of your diagnosis, treatment, medication, and feelings. Join our chat rooms to learn from, and share with, others. 

YOU ARE SAFE HERE. 

That's important for you to know right from the start. Your personal information, even your e-mail address if you sign up for newsletters, is kept strictly confidential, and is neither sold nor distributed to anyone for any reason. You can post in chat rooms anonymously, and interactions or communications with nurses are treated as completely confidential as well. Read our privacy policy.
