This tutorial for advocates considers several different aspects of cancer risk including risks associated with developing cancer and the influence that factors like our genes and lifestyles have on those risks, risks related to cancer treatment and the risk of cancer recurrence.

The publication also explores patient perceptions of cancer risks, including risk of developing cancer, cancer recurrence, and risks associated with metastatic cancers. We also look at ways that risk is communicated.
