At SurvivorNet, we work with top oncologists and expert physicians to bring you need-to-know information about cancer. These doctors help to dispel myths, explain what a diagnosis of cancer means and provide an overview of treatment options.
All of our material is created in collaboration with experts and is reviewed by other leading clinicians in the same field to make sure it is accurate. This concept of rigorous “peer review”–colleagues checking one another’s work–is central to any legitimate medical research. We think health media ought to work that way too.
Where there is debate among doctors, we point it out. When doctors don’t have answers, we say that. Our experts also think it’s crucial that patients understand when there may be a financial component involved in the recommendation of one treatment course over another.
Additionally, SurvivorNet aims to provide information on the latest research that could actually play into your care. We specifically weed out the confusing headline du jour with a surprising claim from “a new study,” that, when you actually examine it, turns out to be based on research still being done in mice or in small numbers of people.
The goal is to put information from oncologists with a variety of backgrounds into one place, to help you understand and make informed decisions about your treatment and your future.
