Additional resources related to coping with such diseases, available clinical trials and ongoing research, and the important aspects that need to be discussed with their treatment team are also provided. Each guide is reviewed by experts on the "Cancer.Net Editorial Board" that includes oncologists, surgeons, nurses, physician assistants, social workers, and other medical professionals involved in the care of patients with cancer.
