This website provides information about ICAN's Personalized Medicine Cancer Case Navigation Programs, while it also describes ICAN's multi-faceted mission, unique vision, and respected values. Intended for use by the general public, this site also offers more in-depth information for target populations who may benefit from ICAN's Program Services such as ICAN patients, their caregivers and medical teams - along with those healthcare professionals and researchers who are involved with ICAN's medical and scientific councils.

Information contained herein is therefore not intended to substitute for or supersede any advice that a patient receives from his/her health professional and is not intended to compromise in any way the patient-physician relationship. ICAN strongly believes that all medical decisions need to be made, via shared decision-making, by the patient and his/her medical team.
