Abstract
Abstract Cancer.Net, a patient information web site maintained by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), offers guides for many types of cancer and related hereditary syndromes for both adult and pediatric patients. Each guide provides broad clinical information for patients, families, and caregivers on the nature of cancer, signs and symptoms, related risk factors, diagnosis, staging and grading, and types of treatment. Additional resources related to coping with such diseases, available clinical trials and ongoing research, and the important aspects that need to be discussed with their treatment team are also provided. Each guide is reviewed by experts on the “Cancer.Net Editorial Board” that includes oncologists, surgeons, nurses, physician assistants, social workers, and other medical professionals involved in the care of patients with cancer.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
