What is Cancernet?
We
are an independent
organisation comprising of a multidisciplinary of group of health
professionals and cancer survivors. Cancernet.co.uk contains educational
advice sheets for patients affected by cancer, their relatives and health
professionals. It has identified the areas
and levels of information which patients need to help them make decisions, cope
with the side effects of therapy and help them make informed lifestyle
choices. It also provides a useful
resource for services which may be useful after a diagnosis of cancer such as support groups, academic and commercial
organisations. The information provided is not a substitute

health problem or a disease. If you have, or suspect you have, a health problem

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

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.
