Editorial Standards
How Canceromachy Approaches Content
Canceromachy brings together medical information, personal experience, Greek mythology, history, original storytelling, product recommendations, and AI-assisted writing. Those subjects require different standards, so the goal is to make clear what kind of information a reader is receiving.
Facts should be supported by appropriate evidence. Uncertainty should remain visible when the evidence is incomplete. Personal experience should be identified as personal experience, and original Canceromachy mythology should never be presented as ancient Greek tradition.
Medical Information and Personal Experience
Medical content is intended to help readers better understand cancer, treatment, symptoms, terminology, and related subjects. It does not provide individualized medical advice or replace a qualified healthcare professional.
Medical claims should rely on credible scientific and medical sources and should not be stated with greater certainty than the evidence supports. Preliminary research, theoretical mechanisms, personal experience, and established medical evidence should remain clearly distinguished.
My own cancer journey is an important part of Canceromachy, but what happened to me should not be assumed to apply to another person. More information about these standards is available in the Medical Review and Sources policy.
Mythology, History, and Original Storytelling
Greek mythology does not have a single universal canon. Ancient sources often disagree, and Canceromachy will preserve meaningful variations rather than force them into one version of a story.
Ancient traditions, historical interpretation, modern symbolism, and original Canceromachy mythology should remain distinguishable from one another. New mythology created for this project may build upon ancient gods and stories, but it will not be presented as lost or historically documented Greek tradition.
Additional standards for mythology research and sourcing are explained in the Mythology Research Standards.
AI, Sources, and Editorial Responsibility
Artificial intelligence is used throughout Canceromachy for research organization, brainstorming, drafting, editing, comparison, and maintaining continuity. AI can also make mistakes, misunderstand sources, or express uncertainty with too much confidence.
I remain responsible for what is published. Factual claims should be checked against sources appropriate to the subject rather than accepted simply because AI-generated wording sounds authoritative.
The standard is simple: preserve the evidence, acknowledge uncertainty, identify interpretation, and correct meaningful errors when they are discovered. More information is available in the Corrections Policy.
Editorial Independence
Advertising, affiliate relationships, sponsorships, traffic goals, and search rankings should not determine what Canceromachy presents as true. Commercial relationships will be disclosed when relevant, and compensation does not guarantee a positive recommendation. See the Affiliate Disclosure for additional information.
Canceromachy can connect medicine, mythology, lived experience, history, and imagination without pretending they are the same thing. Their differences are part of what makes those connections meaningful.
