Welcome to the Cancer Resource Center! Whether you are looking for yourself or a loved one, we aim to provide you with rich resources to help you understand diagnosis and treatment options.
Cancer Profilers
Our Cancer Profilers are interactive, decision-support applications to help you investigate two critical areas: treatment options and outcomes.
Treatment Options
This application uses color-coded keys to help patients compare treatment options and determine whether treatment-related side effects are acceptable to them.
Treatment Options contains:
- A form for entering patient medical data and general health information
- Detailed descriptions of treatment options, and related side effects, based on a patient's personal medical situation
- A comprehensive database of published scientific studies that relate to the patient's input
- Printable reports for summarizing medical information and generating questions for physicians
Treatment Outcomes
Shows what the patient may expect following treatment. Outcomes are estimated based on data from groups of patients with similar clinical information. The Treatment Outcomes tool is currently available for bladder, breast, colorectal, non-small cell lung, ovarian, prostate and small cell lung cancers.
