How We Create Content
Types of Breast Cancer exists to help patients, survivors, and caregivers understand breast cancer and the practical questions that come with it. Every article on this site is written in plain English, in a calm and respectful tone, for readers in the United States.
Our articles are written and edited by the Types of Breast Cancer Editorial Team. We explain medical words the first time they appear, keep sentences short, and organize each guide so you can find the answer you need quickly: a direct answer first, key takeaways, clear sections, and questions you may want to ask your own doctor.
Our Sources
We base our content on information published by established medical and government organizations, including the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institutes of Health. You can find the organizations we rely on listed on our Sources and Resources page.
Medical understanding changes over time. When a figure, guideline, or program detail could change, we say so and point you to the official source for the current version instead of guessing. We never invent statistics, studies, quotations, or expert opinions.
What Our Content Is — and Is Not
Everything on this site is general educational information. It is not medical, legal, or financial advice, and it does not replace the care of your own doctor or care team. We do not diagnose, and we never tell a reader which treatment, medicine, or program is right for them. Individual cases differ, and decisions about care, insurance, benefits, and money are personal ones to make with qualified professionals.
If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911.
Accuracy and Corrections
We review our content periodically and update articles when official guidance changes. If you believe something on this site is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us through our Contact page. We read every message and correct genuine errors.

Organizations mentioned in our resource lists are named for general information only; inclusion is not a recommendation, and you should confirm current details on each organization’s official website.
