About

The Site

Since 1999, cancereducation.com has been online providing information and original content to cancer patients, their families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. To suit different users, the site is divided into two main areas: the Patient & Family center and the Professional center. Each of the centers is open to both professionals and patients, however, materials contained within each center have been specifically designed taking into consideration the needs and concerns of each group.
