Cancer Information

The Internet is replete with information on cancer and its treatment. Navigating this information can be a bewildering experience. Winship Cancer Institute recognizes the following organizations for having clear, credible and accessible information on cancer:

• Emory Healthcare offers a wealth of information on cancer as well as other health and wellness issues. Emory Healthcare is Georgia's largest healthcare system and provides all healthcare for Winship patients.
• The National Cancer Institute gives you a portal page on cancer topics, including the Physicians Data Query (PDQ.), NCI's comprehensive cancer database, and access to all approved clinical trials in the U.S. NCI is the federal government's principal agency for cancer research and training.
• CancerQuest provides lessons on the biology of cancer. CancerQuest is a service by Winship Cancer Institute in partnership with the Georgia Cancer Coalition and Emory University.
• The American Cancer Society offers another gateway to a wide array of information on the prevention and treatment of cancer, as well as research information. The Glossary section is an especially helpful tool. The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary organization.
