Pathologists, physicians who study tissues and cells to identify and diagnose cancer and other diseases, have developed individual patient information sheets on a variety of cancer and cancer-related diseases.

Each sheet includes answers to questions about what the disease is, what treatment options are available, questions you should ask your doctors, a definition of key terms, and pictures of a normal tissue as well as one that is diseased.

They were developed for you by pathologists to help you learn more about your specific disease. Because the more you know, the more empowered you become about your own health.
