Discovering Pathways to Innovation

Being diagnosed with cancer is a life altering experience for anyone who has been touched by the disease. Patients and caregivers alike are often overwhelmed by the vast array of choices with which they are faced.

For those undergoing treatment for cancer, knowledge is power. Educating yourself on the specifics of your disease and becoming familiar with the surplus of available resources is helpful in learning to live with the disease. Many resources are available for patients with cancer, ranging from research centers to websites offering educational information on a wide range of cancer-related subjects. These resources can help patients, family members, advocates, and care givers learn about different types of cancer, make informed decisions, about treatment and lifestyle changes, find clinical trials, and get help and support through networking and service programs. Several of these resources are listed in the Resources section of this website.
