Extended description
Cancer Explained helps patients, caregivers, families, and the public understand cancer information and prepare for conversations with their care teams. Operated by National Cancer Information Foundation, a Wyoming nonprofit recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity, the website offers plain-language explanations, visual learning, guided reading paths, and educational tools. Its content draws chiefly on the National Cancer Institute and other published public health sources, with links to the underlying material. The site uses an AI-assisted editorial system and automated checks; pages are not routinely reviewed by a named clinician before publication. Cancer Explained provides education, not diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or individualized medical advice. Resources are free to access, with no ads, paywall, or account required.

Logo & wordmark
Please don't alter the colors, proportions, or lettering. Use the approved PNG files unchanged, on white or very pale lavender (on dark backgrounds, inside a white panel). They are PNG masters, not vector, so please do not enlarge them for print. Our tagline is “Understand Cancer. Feel Less Alone.” See the brand toolkit for colors, typography, and usage guidance.
