Build the Cancer Care Team You Deserve

Personalized Cancer Care Playbook

You shouldn’t navigate cancer alone or have to guess whether your doctors are aligned. The best care comes from a multidisciplinary team, which means experts working together on your behalf.


Men treated by coordinated teams have:

  • Lower risk of death
  • Faster treatment
  • More accurate diagnoses
  • Better overall outcomes 


Your team may include:

  • Oncologist
  • Surgeon
  • Primary care provider or nurse navigator
  • Pharmacist
  • Genetics counselor
  • Mental health care


Patient Pro Tip:

Keep a list of names and phone numbers in one place. A strong team = a clearer path forward.

Ask Your Doctor: “Can we go over who’s on my care team, and who’s coordinating everything?”

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

 This guide was built for men who want clarity, confidence, and support. 

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or already in treatment, you have more power than you think, and... 

My Cancer, My Plan helps you use it.
