Some healthcare organizations may compensate us when you choose to contact their services. That does not change our educational Decision Paths. Read Transparency for how partnerships work.

How content is prepared
- AI-assisted content creation: AI may help organize questions and draft educational text.
- Editorial review: Drafts are reviewed for structure, accuracy, source alignment, and cautious wording before publishing.
- Not medically reviewed by default: Unless a named physician reviewer is listed, pages are not physician-medically reviewed.
- Content last checked: Dates show when content was last checked — not automatic proof of medical certification.
- Purpose: Decision support and patient preparation — not diagnosis or medical advice.
- Decision scenarios: Story pages are illustrative examples unless marked as verified patient contributions.
- Sources:Tier-1 decision pages include a Sources & Review Information module grounded in public guidance from organizations such as NCI, ASCO, ESMO, and NCCN. AI output is never auto-published.
