What ANW does not provide

ANW does not provide medical diagnosis, individual medical advice, medical treatment, emergency medical services, or a replacement for evaluation and care by qualified healthcare professionals.

Treatment decisions

Watch & Wait, radiation, microsurgery, rehabilitation, medication, testing, and follow-up decisions depend on individual circumstances. Discuss benefits, risks, alternatives, and timing with clinicians who know your medical history and current condition.

Symptoms and urgent care

Symptoms can have many possible causes. Information on this website cannot determine the cause of a symptom or whether it is urgent. If you believe you may be experiencing an emergency or a serious new or worsening symptom, seek appropriate local emergency or urgent medical care.

Survivor experiences

Stories shared by survivors and caregivers are individual experiences. They do not predict another person’s treatment, recovery timeline, complications, or outcome. Your experience may be different even when parts of the diagnosis appear similar.

Information can change

Medical knowledge, clinical practices, and available treatments can change. Confirm information that may affect your care with your treating professionals and current authoritative sources.
