CancerChoices

CancerChoices, a program of the nonprofit Commonweal, provides independent, evidence-based, no cost resources to help people with cancer, caregivers, and healthcare professionals understand choices in integrating conventional care, complementary care, and self care to improve cancer outcomes. The CancerChoices team synthesizes the research on complementary therapies and provides digital handbooks on a wide range of topics, including eating well, and managing side effects and symptoms. Support to find healing and meaning within the cancer experience is at the heart of CancerChoices. In 2021, researchers from the National Cancer Institute published a review of websites that evaluate complementary cancer therapies and gave CancerChoices.org (called “Beyond Conventional Cancer Therapies” at that time) their highest rating for quality and trustworthiness of information. CancerChoices grew out of Co-founder, Dr. Michael Lerner’s ground-breaking book, Choices in Healing, the first book on integrative cancer care that was lauded by both scientific journals and patients for its compassion and objectivity. The work is also grounded in over 30 years of direct support for people with cancer in the Commonweal Cancer Help Program retreats as well as Commonweal programs Healing Circles Global, Sanctuary, The New School, and Beyond Conventional Cancer Therapies. Founded in 1976, Commonweal is internationally known for its work in healing, education, the arts and justice.
