Practice cancer words
Appointments move fast and the words come at you all at once. Pick a set below and practice a few at a time. Every definition here is the plain-language one from our glossary, based on National Cancer Institute resources.
There is no score and no time limit. Words you miss simply come back next time. Your progress stays on this device — nothing you do here is sent anywhere.
This is general education about what words mean. It cannot tell you what any word means for your own situation, your results, or your treatment — only your care team can do that. If a word in your own report or notes is worrying you, write it down and ask them, or try the report decoder and the question builder.
