ESMO Guides for Patients are prepared as a service to patients, to help patients, their relatives and caregivers better understand the nature of their cancer type and understand the best treatment choices available. Please note that information in these Guides for Patients does not replace a medical consultation. ESMO recommends that patients ask their doctors about what tests or types of treatments are needed for their type and stage of disease.
