Medical Review and Sources
How Medical Information Is Researched
Canceromachy includes information about cancer, treatment, medications, side effects, testing, nutrition, supplements, and other health-related subjects. Because this information may influence how readers understand their own care, medical claims are researched using credible scientific and medical sources appropriate to the subject.
Canceromachy is not a medical practice and does not provide individualized medical advice. The goal is to make complicated information easier to understand and help readers prepare better questions for their own healthcare teams.
Medical Review
A page will only be described as medically reviewed when a qualified healthcare professional has actually reviewed its medical content. A well-researched or AI-assisted article is not the same as a medically reviewed article.
When professional review occurs, Canceromachy may identify the reviewer, credentials, and review date so readers can understand how the content was evaluated.
Sources and Evidence
Medical information may be researched using sources such as the National Cancer Institute, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, peer-reviewed medical literature, PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, major cancer centers, professional medical organizations, and official prescribing information.
The strength of a claim should reflect the strength of the evidence. Laboratory findings, animal studies, early clinical trials, personal experiences, and established medical evidence are not treated as equivalent. When evidence is preliminary, conflicting, or uncertain, the writing should say so.
Supplements and complementary approaches receive the same scrutiny. Personal experience or a plausible biological mechanism does not establish that something treats cancer or improves outcomes.
Personal Experience and AI
My own medical records and treatment experiences may be used when describing my cancer journey. They establish what happened to me, not what another person should expect or do.
Artificial intelligence helps organize research, compare information, explain technical subjects, and assist with writing, but AI is not treated as a medical source. Important medical claims should be checked against reliable external evidence before publication.
Limits and Corrections
Medical knowledge changes, and no research or review process can guarantee that every page will remain perfectly current. Readers should confirm important medical decisions with their own healthcare professionals.
If you find medical information that appears inaccurate, outdated, or misleading, please contact Canceromachy. Meaningful errors will be handled according to the Corrections Policy.
