National Cancer Institute's PDQ Database

The National Cancer Institute has developed a program called PDQ listing the latest and best treatments for every type of cancer. There is a section for patients and one for physicians.

If you or someone you love are not getting the latest treatments, ask your doctor why.

1. Here's another good resource

National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines - these also are updated regularly

http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/default.asp

Another good one is Adjuvant! Online

http://www.adjuvantonline.com/

And always remember, never, ever make decisions about your cancer treatment based on what you think you can afford.

3. My wife worked on that for years.

She also worked the phones for 1-800-4-CANCER.
Call them if you have questions. They'll do what they can to help

If your looking for clinical trials try this:
