- National Cancer Institute - Cancer Topics.
The NCI Cancer Topics site provides detailed information about all
types of cancer. Of particular use are the
Physician Data Query (PDQ)
cancer information summaries. The PDQ documents come in two forms, one
intended for health professionals and the other for patients and their
families. These documents provide excellent overviews of the state of
the art in cancer diagnosis and treatment for each type of cancer.

seven days-a-week. The NCIC is a free hotline where patients and their
families can get answers to their questions about cancer. The NCIC can
also provide information about events and resources in the patient's
local community and free copies of books and brochures about cancer.
- Lance Armstrong Foundation. The
Lance Armstrong Foundation is a tax-exempt charitable foundation
founded by champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, a survivor of testicular
cancer. The Lance Armstrong Foundation provides practical information
and tools for people living with cancer through the
