ASCO patient education programs

CANCER.NET

The best cancer care starts with the best cancer information. Well-informed patients are their own best advocates and invaluable partners for physicians. Cancer.Net (www.cancer.net) brings the expertise and resources of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the voice of the world’s cancer physicians, to people living with cancer and to those who care for and about them. All the information and content on Cancer.Net was developed and approved by the cancer doctors who are members of ASCO, making Cancer.Net an up-to-date and trusted resource for cancer information on the Internet. Cancer.Net is supported by the Conquer Cancer Foundation, which provides funding for breakthrough cancer research, professional education, and patient and family support.

 

ASCO ANSWERS

ASCO ANSWERS is a collection of oncologist-approved patient education materials developed by ASCO for people with cancer and their caregivers.

 

ASCO answers: Colorectal Cancer

ASCO answers: Prostate Cancer

 

It is one of many people’s biggest fears-sitting in the doctor’s office and hearing the word cancer. People diagnosed with breast cancer often say they were stunned by their diagnosis and couldn’t hear, much less remember, what was said afterward. However, absorbing the news of a cancer diagnosis is a key part of the coping process

Also we plan to publish brochures for patients:
 

• ASCO answers: Colorectal Cancer
• ASCO answers: Prostate Cancer.

Other educational projects ASCO you can find on the website http://www.cancer.net/
