The Cancer Society's aim is to to provide easy-to-understand and accurate information on cancer, its treatments and the support available. Our cancer information sheets are reviewed every two to three years by cancer doctors, specialist nurses and other relevant health professionals to ensure the medical information is reliable, evidence-based and up-to-date. The sheets are also checked by consumers to ensure they meet the needs of people with cancer.
