Right TeamIt is best to consult with specialists who diagnose and treat a high volume of patients with your specific type of cancer. You can find these specialists at National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers and high-volume cancer centers. Seeking a second opinion at any point is also highly recommended to ensure optimal care for your type of cancer. |

Right TestsEvery case of cancer is different. The right tests can help speed you to a specific diagnosis and a more accurate treatment approach. It is important to have genomic testing of your cancer and all other appropriate tests as early as possible to help determine your best treatment options. |

Right TreatmentWith the right team and right tests, you have what you need to find the best treatment for your specific diagnosis and access the highest quality of care. Discuss your treatment goals with your healthcare team, and know all of your options at every stage of your disease. Depending on your diagnosis, a clinical trial may be the best option. |
