Groundbreaking Cancer Rights Law Book Now in Second Edition

Essential Legal Resource for Patients, Caregivers, Advocates, and Professionals

CHICAGO, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Triage Cancer^® proudly announces the release of the Second Edition of Cancer Rights Law: A Tool for Effective Navigation, a one-of-a-kind legal resource created to address the complex legal challenges faced by individuals diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers.

Authored by the co-founders of Triage Cancer^® and published by the American Bar Association, this comprehensive guide provides practical, actionable information on a wide range of topics including employment law, health and disability insurance, estate planning, consumer rights, medical decision-making, genetic discrimination, and financial protections. The updated edition reflects the rapidly evolving landscape of health care law and cancer advocacy and equips patients, caregivers, and professionals with tools to understand and assert their rights.

"Legal issues can profoundly impact a person's cancer journey," said Joanna Fawzy Doran, Esq., co-author and CEO of Triage Cancer^®. "When people don't understand their rights, they risk losing access to critical benefits and protections. This book simplifies the law and empowers individuals to make informed decisions during one of the most challenging times in their lives."

Ideal for law school faculty, legal clinics, pro bono attorneys, medical-legal partnerships, patient navigators, and individuals affected by cancer, the book offers both legal analysis and real-world strategies. Readers will learn how to navigate insurance denials, take medical leave, access disability benefits, protect their income, and make essential legal and medical plans.

"Too many patients and caregivers are left to navigate a complex system without the tools they need," said Monica Fawzy Bryant, Esq., co-author and COO of Triage Cancer^®. "As cancer rights attorneys, we've seen firsthand how the right legal information can change lives. This book breaks down barriers and provides clear answers when people need them most."

Building on the success of the first edition, this updated version expands key chapters, includes real-life examples, and presents the material in an accessible, user-friendly format. It is a vital resource for anyone working in or affected by cancer care, advocacy, or policy.
