Cancer: is it important that i know the stage cancer is in? friends tend to think it is. i do not think it does any good but to foster myths.hmm?

Critical: Staging is crucial in deciding the best treatment modalities that may include radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. Make sure you discuss and understand the treatment plan and the goals of care since in some cancers treatment is geared more towards palliation than cure.
