Our Limitations: Honest & Transparent
Understanding what we cannot do is as important as understanding what we can do.
No Medical Decisions
We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or make any medical decisions. All medical decisions are made exclusively by licensed physicians at partner institutions.
No Outcome Guarantees
No ethical organization can guarantee medical outcomes. Individual results vary based on cancer type, stage, overall health, treatment response, and many other factors.
No Emergency Services
We are not an emergency service. If you have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. We coordinate planned treatment access only.
No Legal Advice
We do not provide legal advice regarding medical malpractice, insurance disputes, or other legal matters. Consult a qualified attorney for legal issues.
No Financial Advice
We do not provide financial advice regarding treatment costs, insurance coverage, or payment plans. Consult a financial advisor for financial decisions.
No Visa Guarantees
While we assist with medical visa coordination, we cannot guarantee visa approval. Visa decisions are made by immigration authorities, not by CancerCareE.
