INTRODUCTION  Cancer is not a single disease but the summary term for
a larger number of diseases. All of them have in common
uncontrolled growth to form a mass of cells called tumor,
which if untreated causes the death of the organism. There is a
huge number of cancer-related sites on the net. Thatīs the
reason I prepared this guide. There are many sites related to
specific cancers. I will not refer to these sites because it would
go too far. If you are interested to learn about specific cancers
go to the directory Type
of Cancer. There are also many sites refering to hospitals and
treatment centers. I am also not linking any of these sites. You
will easily find them on other web sites.

GENERAL SITES If you want
to exploit details with respect to cancer in general or individual
cancers, treatments etc. there are several sites on the web. I
already mentioned Noahīs page. The next three sites I further
recommend are the American Cancer
Society Homepage:, which virtually contains everything you
might want to know including an extensive explanation of various
drugs. There is also a News section, which is updated daily. The
National Cancer Institute has several pages. The introductary NCI page leads to the other
pages as well. To be complete I will list them here. One page
reports about Plans and
Priorities. For patients and health professionals the CancerNet site is probably most
important. You can find descriptions and treatment options for
different cancers. In my sections about special cancers I am always
refering to specific sites from the NCI describing types of
cancers. The NCI pages are not only about a cancer type in general
such as īlung cancerī but also go further in subtyping
such as īsmall cell lung cancerī and īnon-small
cell lung cancerī. A nice and very informative site is Oncolink from the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center. Although I am not linking Cancer Center sites, oncolink has been a very prominent cancer web site with a lot of important information for patients and health professionals. If you want to interact with others there is a nice site called Cancershock. On this site you can post stories or anything regarding cancer. There is also a news section. The site is unique.
