Selected Cancer Information WWW Links
The following links represent
some of the best sites
for obtaining information about
cancer and cancer
treatments. In no way is
this a comprehensive list,
but the last link, Cancer
News on the Net, provides
links to most of the cancer resources
on the WWW.
|National Cancer Institute|OncoLink|MD Anderson|H. Lee Moffitt|ACS|Cancer News|
The National
Cancer Institute, NCI, is the governmental agency
that oversees most of
the cancer research in the US. Besides
information for researchers,
NCI provides a vast amount of
information to survivors,
their families, and physicians. The
Cancer
Information Service is a good place to begin a search
for cancer information.
The CancerNet information has
been reviewed by cancer
specialists and is updated regularly.
2. OncoLink at the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center
OncoLink,
The University of Pennsylvania Cancer Resource is
one of the finest cancer
sites on the Web. It has won numerous
awards for obvious reasons.
Disease Oriented Menus
is an area
of OncoLink for those
who want information about specific cancers.
Medical
Specialty Oriented Menus is another valuable resource that
gives the latest information
about treatments such as chemotherapy
and radiation.
Cancer
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) is a good
place for survivors that
have just been diagnosed and have thousands
of questions about their
disease, treatment, and survival. The links
that I have suggested
are just a few of what can be found at this site.
3. M. D Anderson Cancer Center
The
University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center has an
excellent Web site.
It is mainly devoted to obtaining new patients
and providing information
to their patients. Nonetheless, lots of
good information can
be obtained from this site. Understanding
Cancer
gives good basic cancer
information, especially for those who have
just been diagnosed.
Cancer
Treatment Research is a good place to
learn about clinical
trials, especially those at M. D. Anderson.
4. H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute
The H.
Lee Moffitt Cancer Center Home Page provides cancer information
about this institution,
a regional center in central Florida.
Cancer
Information Sites at this site gives links to national
and state (FL) cancer
sites. Also, you can read the cancer journal,
Cancer
Control Journal published at this institution.
Visit Specific
Cancers for information about different types of cancers and
how they are treated.
Another excellent area is Patient
& Family Info which
is self explanatory.
It also provides information regarding Alternative
Therapies.
This site is a valuable
resource for all cancer survivors. Explore it carefully.
Last, but surely not least,
Cancer
News on the Net has links to a
large percent of the
cancer resources on the Web. You should bookmark
this site because it
will point you in the right direction.
