Frequently asked questions

card

What is biomarker testing and why is it important?

Biomarkers are signals in cancer cells that can show how your cancer behaves and how it may respond to treatment. Testing for biomarkers can give your care team important insights and help them design a personalized treatment plan. You can get tested for biomarkers at diagnosis, during a biopsy, or at multiple points in your cancer journey.

Do race and ethnicity affect my outlook for cancer?

Cancer affects some racial and ethnic groups at different rates for a variety of reasons. For example:

  • Black people are 20% more likely to develop colorectal cancer than White people
  • Asians and Pacific Islanders with lung cancer are 17% less likely to be diagnosed early compared to White people
  • Hispanic women face higher risks of early onset and aggressive breast cancer

Pfizer is dedicated to improving health equity for patients by partnering with more than 40 US organizations, from community groups to healthcare providers and advocacy groups.

When should I seek a second opinion?

Getting a second opinion is a common process that can give you peace of mind. You may want or need a second opinion because:

  • You have a rare type of cancer and want to be sure of your diagnosis
  • Your doctor gives you limited treatment options, and you think other treatments might be available at a different medical center
  • Your doctor is not a specialist in your type of cancer
  • Your doctor tells you there is uncertainty about your type or stage of cancer
  • You’re having trouble understanding and communicating with your doctor, or you want your options explained by someone else
  • You feel uncomfortable with your doctor and their ability to answer your questions or give you the time you need
  • Your insurance company asks you to get another opinion before you start treatment
  • You want to feel confident in your treatment plan
