"You have cancer."

If a doctor has just told you that, your mind is drowning in a sea of doubt and dread. You fear the cancer will cause physical pain, change your appearance, drain your finances, diminish your ability to work or care for your family, or end your life.

And as you and your loved ones prepare to navigate your disease, it's only natural to feel overwhelmed. Worries about insurance coverage, getting help with daily routines and the great unknown of how this brutal disease will affect your life pervade your being. Your loved ones also are reeling, unaware as you are about your disease and unsure how to help. 

Patients nationwide can navigate Castle Connolly’s searchable Top Doctors database (CastleConnolly.com, ‘Doctors’ dropdown) to find a leading physician close to home.

Advances in cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment have improved outcomes for many patients. Cancers in most body areas can now be treated and cured if diagnosed early, and many patients ultimately move beyond their cancer and live a productive and fulfilling life.
