How should I use these comparisons?
These comparisons are educational resources to help you understand treatment options. Always discuss your specific situation with your oncologist before making any treatment decisions. Individual factors like cancer type, stage, biomarkers, and your overall health significantly influence which therapy is best for you.
Are these comparisons based on clinical evidence?
Yes, all information is sourced from peer-reviewed clinical trials, FDA approval documents, and clinical practice guidelines from organizations like ASCO, NCCN, and ESMO. We cite primary sources and update comparisons as new evidence emerges.
What if my cancer type isn't listed?
We're continuously adding new comparisons. If you don't see your specific cancer type, check our glossary for information on treatment classes, or contact us to request a specific comparison. Our blog also covers emerging therapies across many cancer types.
Can I use this to choose my treatment?
No, these are educational tools only. Treatment decisions should be made by your oncology team based on comprehensive evaluation of your cancer, biomarker testing, treatment history, comorbidities, and personal preferences. We strongly recommend discussing all options with qualified healthcare professionals.
