Cleveland Clinic

Chemocare.com is a patient-focused cancer information resource created to help people undergoing treatment and their caregivers find clear, reliable guidance. Inspired by Olympic figure skater Scott Hamilton’s difficulty locating understandable chemotherapy information during his own treatment at Cleveland Clinic, the site launched in 2002 to support patients in taking an active role in their care. Its content is created and reviewed by a multidisciplinary team at Cleveland Clinic or drawn from reliable medical and community sources.

The website offers information on FDA-approved cancer treatment drugs, including how they work, possible side effects, and self-care tips. Visitors can explore guidance on managing treatment side effects, chemotherapy basics, immunotherapy, clinical trials, and preparation for and recovery after treatment. Chemocare.com also provides nutrition advice for people receiving chemotherapy, survivorship information, resources on late effects, educational videos, frequently asked questions, and links to additional support organizations. The site is available in English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, and Vietnamese, helping patients and caregivers access practical information in multiple languages.
