What is this blog about?
Cancer treatment is devoted to making available short overviews of new treatments, promising approaches and research in oncology available to the public. Each post is accompanied by a Lay Summary and is based on the general consensus in the field of cancer medicine and related areas. This will provide clear, concise overviews available to all those who need them. I base all recommendations on professional society guidelines and credible medical evidence, but in the final account it represents my understanding of the field and a personal synthesis of the available information.
I endeavor to continuously review and revise the posts based on new developments but please be aware that the field of Cancer Medicine is constantly changing and evolving.
