Cancer Information Development team
High quality information is vital for people affected by cancer. Our cancer experts aim to provide people with the cancer information they need on the topics that most concern them.
We produce information on cancer types, tests and treatments, and information that supports people affected by cancer, with the practical impacts of cancer diagnosis on their work, finances and relationships.
You can browse the web pages in our cancer information and support section. You can also use our personal guide to get information tailored to your situation. Most of the information on our website is also available in printed booklets and leaflets. You can order these free of charge from be.Macmillan.
