# Cancer Explained

Cancer Explained is a nonprofit, AI-assisted cancer education and preparation platform published by National Cancer Information Foundation.

It helps people understand cancer reports and terminology, prepare for oncology appointments, and identify general next steps. It translates information from cited authoritative sources (NCI, NIH, CDC, FDA, MedlinePlus) into plain language, practical questions, worksheets, and general guidance.

Most content has not been reviewed by a physician or other healthcare professional unless a named reviewer and review date appear on the page. Cancer Explained does not diagnose, recommend treatment, estimate prognosis, or provide emergency triage. It is not a clinical authority and is not a substitute for a healthcare team.
