The Importance of Timely and Qualified Information on Cancer Treatments
In most cases of cancer, there are several possible treatments and the field is moving towards using several in combination due to a stronger therapeutic effect. Heeding only one opinion on the treatment path is not wise because such opinion is likely biased by what a particular physician favors and is most familiar with.
Because it is crucial to treat cancer quickly to increase the chances of success, it is vital for the people with cancer and their family and friends helping with decisions, to make informed decisions based on several qualified opinions. There are multiple options of treatments for many types and stages of cancer. The more people understand the medical implications of a variety of treatment possibilities, the better decision they will be able to make.
