Cancer Explained

Cancer Explained is the public education project of National Cancer Information Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We turn trusted public health sources — chiefly the National Cancer Institute — into plain-language explanations, visual learning, and guided reading paths for patients, caregivers, families, and anyone who wants to understand cancer better.

We simplify, explain, visualize, organize, and teach, while staying faithful to the source each video and article is built from. We do not replace doctors, and we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Your healthcare team knows your situation; we're here to help you understand the conversation.

Free plain-language cancer education for patients, caregivers, and the public.
