Editorial Standards

Last updated on September 20, 2023

The Breastcancer.org editorial standards are the foundation of our commitment to gaining and preserving our readers’ trust with accurate, responsible, inclusive, medically reviewed, and evidence-based information about breast cancer and breast cancer treatments, presented in clear language that is engaging and trustworthy.

Breastcancer.org maintains complete editorial independence and separation from our sponsors and advertisers. No content is screened, altered, or edited by sponsors or advertisers at any time.

Breastcancer.org’s team of content creators use trusted primary sources — including medical journals and organizations such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and American Cancer Society — and input from credentialed medical experts to ensure our readers have access to information they can rely on. 

Breastcancer.org’s editorial team verifies that information is correct and facts are placed in the context our readers need to make informed decisions about their medical care. Our editorial team is also committed to updating content as needed, so our readers can trust they have the latest information about breast cancer, breast cancer medicines and therapies and their associated side effects, and other psychosocial and economic issues faced by people diagnosed with the disease.

Our content is reviewed by medical experts, experts in other relevant fields, and members of Breastcancer.org’s Professional Advisory Board to ensure it is up-to-date and medically accurate. Our board members are practicing healthcare professionals who, in addition to being experts in their fields, make a daily commitment to offer the best care possible.

Breastcancer.org is committed to updating content and producing new content that is inclusive and reaches people of all races, ethnicities, genders, geographic areas, age groups, religious or a-religious beliefs, and income levels so everyone affected by breast cancer can find the information they need and feel represented.

Breastcancer.org stands behind the information that we provide to our readers and community.
