Dr. Len's Cancer Blog Users Guide

Welcome to the American Cancer Society’s first blog, Dr. Len’s Cancer blog. This blog takes a look at major cancer news and provides a forum for discussing these topics.

Our goal with this blog is to give our readers the opportunity to gain perspective and insight on cancer news and to interact with us. The most current postings will be found on the home page, and we have organized the archives by category and by month and year. It is our hope that this blog will be a place for thoughtful conversation on cancer topics.

At Dr. Len’s Cancer Blog we want to ensure that everyone stays on topic. We welcome your thoughts, comments, suggestions and questions, but when you post, make sure your postings are of general interest to most readers. Profanity, racial and ethnic slurs, and rude behavior like disparaging personal remarks will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to remove any postings. We will strive to present opposing viewpoints and keep the blog as interesting, diverse and multi-sided as possible. While we want to engage in a conversation with you, not every post will receive a response. We also ask that you be patient with Dr. Len while waiting for a response as he has many responsibilities at the Society and cannot respond immediately.

One final disclaimer – Dr. Len and the Society do not offer personal medical advice. While you are certainly welcome to ask questions, and Dr. Len may be able to answer in a general sense, the best thing to do is to speak with your physician about these questions. Your conversations on this blog are not a substitute for consultation with your physician who is familiar with your medical needs. You can also visit our Web site, www.cancer.org, for information and suggestions on questions to take to your doctor, and you can call our National Cancer Information Center anytime day or night, 365 days a year, at 1-800-ACS-2345 (1-800-227-2345) where you will be able to speak with a trained cancer information specialist.
