Doctors

Finding a doctor with experience treating high grade neuroendocrine Small Cell or Large Cell Cervical Cancer can be a challenge. The doctors listed here have been recommended by patients fighting SCCC or LCCC. We are not medical professionals, nor can we provide guidance on topics such as health insurance coverage, ease of getting appointments, or even whether this information is always kept up-to-date.  We can’t promise that your experience will be as positive as that of the patients who recommended them, but we hope it is!  Please use this list as a starting point to help you find a physician to help you fight S/LCCC.  If you are a S/LCCC patient or supporter who knows of a doctor we should include on our list, please let us know!
