Health Professional Resources
Our site is laid out much like a textbook, with chapters, sections and smaller subsections.
Some topics of particular interest to those working with and educating cancer patients include:
- What goes wrong in cancer cells?
- How are cancer cells different from normal cells?
- Cancer detection methods (includes pathology reports and cancer staging)
- Details of cancer treatments.
- Surgery (includes explanation of surgical margins)
- Radiation (external and internal radiotherapies)
- Chemotherapy (details of types of chemotherapy and modes of action)
- Hormonal Treatment (information for breast and prostate cancer patients)
- Specific Inhibitors (wide range of drugs including angiogenesis and kinase inhibitors)
- Glossary of Cancer Drugs
- How/Why does drug resistance occur? (illustrations to show why combination therapy is often more effective)
- How are the side effects of cancer treatments handled?
- How do patients locate a clinical trial?
Search for the information related to the drugs/treatments of interest:
The site is fully searchable and the results will list the relevant pages with links to the material. The search feature is located at the top left side of every page.
Print out information:
Printouts will include references for material presented within the pages. Click the button on the bottom left of any page to print that page or a group of related pages. References are printed at the end of all printouts, allowing you to perform more in-depth research if desired.
Outreach Program:
CancerQuest works with Emory's Medical School to provide education to cancer survivors in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
