Cancernet.co.uk contains educational advice sheets for patients affected by cancer, their relatives and health professionals. The information provided is not a substitute for professional care and should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem or a disease. If you have, or suspect you have, a health problem you should consult your doctor. Inclusion or exclusion of any product does not imply that its use is either advocated or rejected. Use of trade names is for production identification only and does not imply endorsement. This site has no formal connection with others of a similar or related name in the UK or internationally.

Although our editorial team make great efforts to ensure the written materials are up to date and accurate, with the rapidly changing face of oncology management there may be pages which need updating from time to time. If you have an issue or stop an area of the site which could be improved we would appreciate your feedback.

This site strongly emphasises the benefits of lifestyle and self help strategies. We do not advocate using these instead of conventional therapies but in support of conventional treatments.
