CancerNetReceiving a diagnosis of cancer can be overwhelming for your patients. To help them navigate the road ahead, Cancer.Net (www.cancer.net), ASCO's patient website, features the guidance for those who have been newly diagnosed. As a starting point, encourage your patients to read about first steps to take (www.cancer.net/firststeps), including learning about the diagnosis, finding medical care and support, and getting organized. In addition, they can find comprehensive information about more than 120 specific types of cancer and cancer-related syndromes (www.cancer.net/cancer). ■
