What's New ? Feedback Disclaimer Copyright With hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of cancer-related pages on the Internet finding appropriate information about childhood cancer can be a real problem. Therefore the aim of "Children's Cancer Web" is to make it easier to find more specific childhood cancer information quickly. This is achieved by providing an index of some of the key cancer-related sites and pages. Links are sorted into categories (by disease-type, and other topics), and where possible annotation is provided to give the reader a brief description of each site / organisation. As well as links the site presents basic information about cancer-related topics. Also, the site aims to draw the readers attention to issues about cancer-related information on the Internet, especially those relating to the quality of information. The site includes information that will be of interest to a spectrum of different users; including parents, caregivers, health professionals, basic scientists, and others interested in childhood cancer. For the readers convenience sites which are intended exclusively for health professionals are labelled as such. The site is broadly inclusive, though sites about alternative treatments are beyond the scope of the guide. The site welcomes suggestions for cancer-related sites from around the world, comments about the site, and suggestions for how the site can be improved are encouraged using the feedback form.
