If a person gets cancer, the first thing they need to do is collect information on cancer. The Cancer Counseling and Support Center provides information and booklets on different types of cancer. Furthermore, in order to select the best treatment for oneself from among the therapies presented by doctors, the person needs to accurately understand the doctors’ explanations. At the Cancer Counseling and Support Center, we explain difficult medical terms in simple language, and we help patients understand their doctors’ advice.

If a person contracts cancer, besides the medical problem of what kind of treatment to undergo and where, there are also issues related to medical care when receiving treatment, such as medical expenses, how to get along after being discharged from hospital, and nursing services. The Cancer Counseling and Support Center provides patients with advice and support so that they can resolve such worries.

The Center provides information on how to get a second opinion and on facilities that provide second opinions.

The Center sends out and provides information to people who do not have cancer but who want to find out about cancer, for instance the treatment and screening for it.
