CANCER RESEARCH ONLINE MADE EASY

NCI HOME PAGE

The website is www.cancer.gov and when you click the link you'll get the following home page:

cancer.gov homepage

In the middle of the home page you'll see a headline:

Types of Cancer

I’ve pointed a red arrow at this heading in the snapshot below. As you can see, there are 13 common cancer types listed individually from Bladder Cancer to Thyroid Cancer.

If you see your cancer type specifically listed, then click on it. If you don't, click on All Cancer Types and you’ll go to another page to continue your search.

For example, I’ve pointed another red arrow at prostate cancer.

Click on Prostate Cancer and this is what comes up:

The first section is the Treatment section and, for now, this is the category we’re most interested in.

As we look at the Treatment section we see:

Prostate Cancer Treatment

[patient] [health professional]

Start off by clicking the [patient] version. I’ve included the first page of the patient version on prostate cancer below. I’ve highlighted the menu on the left which lists the topics that are covered in this review.
