Oncology Information Resources

  1. CancerNet™

    2. CancerNet™ was created to meet the medical professional's needs for up- to-date, accurate cancer information by the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) International Cancer Information Center and Office of Cancer Communications.

    CancerNet™ is updated monthly and provides easy access to the most current information on cancer. All of the information located on CancerNet™ is continually reviewed and revised by oncology experts and is based on the latest research in the field.

    The following are the major information resources contained within CancerNet™:

    1. PDQ®
      http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/pdq.htm

      2. NCI's comprehensive cancer database, which contains peer- reviewed statements on treatment, supportive care, screening, and prevention; a registry of clinical trials from around the world; and directories of physicians and organizations that provide cancer care, including over 4,000 FDA-approved mammography-screening facilities. PDQ is an evidence-based resource.

      All PDQ cancer information summaries are peer-reviewed and updated monthly by five editorial boards of oncology specialists in adult treatment, pediatric treatment, supportive care, screening, prevention, and cancer genetics. They review current literature from more than 70 biomedical journals, evaluate its relevance, and synthesize it into concise, clear summaries. Many of the summaries are also available in Spanish.

        Major components of PDQ®:

      1. Treatment summaries for health professionals
        PDQ contains prognostic and treatment information on the major types of cancer in children and adults, including information on AIDS-related malignancies. You can retrieve detailed information on prognosis, staging, and treatment for each disease, refer to key citations in the literature, and review abstracts for the citations. A number of brief summaries on less common cancers are also included.
      2. Treatment summaries for patients
        Most PDQ treatment summaries are also available in patient versions, written in easy-to-understand, non-technical language.

      3. Screening and prevention summaries for health professionals
        Summaries on screening for breast, cervical, oral, skin, colorectal, prostate, testicular, ovarian, gastric, and other cancers are also available. You'll find a summary of current data concerning screening for particular disease sites, the levels of evidence for those statements, and the significance and evidence of benefit for the statements, which include supporting references to current literature.
      4. Screening and prevention summaries for patients
        Most PDQ screening and prevention summaries are also available in patient versions, written in easy-to-understand, non- technical language.

      5. Supportive care summaries for health professionals
        PDQ's supportive care summaries provide descriptions of the pathophysiology and treatment of common physical and psychosocial complications of cancer and its treatment, such as pain, hypercalcemia, nausea/vomiting, and transitional care. Each summary generally contains an overview, information on etiology, assessment and management, and references to the current literature.
      6. Supportive care summaries for patients
        Most supportive care summaries are also available in patient versions, written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language.

    2. PDQ Clinical Trials Registry

      3. PDQ contains the world's most comprehensive cancer clinical trials registry. It includes approximately 1,600 abstracts of trials that are open and approved for patient accrual (accepting patients), including trials for cancer treatment, diagnosis, supportive care, screening, and prevention. In addition, you can access approximately 9,500 abstracts of protocols that have been completed or are no longer accepting patients.

      For each trial, abstracts (summaries) are prepared from the original protocol document, ensuring uniformity and accuracy of the content. Protocols may be searched by diagnosis, treatment modality, phase, stage, locality, drug name, or a combination of these and other variables. Protocol abstracts are written in two formats, the health professional abstract (uses technical terminology) and the patient abstract (uses nontechnical language). The Two search forms are:

      1. PDQ® Clinical Trials Search Form: Health Professionals
        http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/prot/protsrch.shtml
      2. PDQ® Clinical Trials Search Form: Patients
        http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/prot/patsrch.shtml

It includes sections on understanding clinical trials, deciding whether to participate in clinical trials, finding specific trials, advances in cancer care, resources on and off the WWW, news in cancer research, and links to PDQ's clinical trials databases.

    3. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI)
      http://cancernet.nci.nih.gov/jnci/jncihome.htm

      4. The JNCI contains editorials about different aspects of cancer treatment as well as news articles covering new and upcoming advances in the United States and around the world. Published responses to comments made by health care practitioners regarding past articles and reports are answered by an expert on the subject.

    4. CANCERLIT®
      http://cnetdb.nci.nih.gov/cancerlit.shtml

      5.
