Cancer information specialists can answer your questions about cancer and
help you with quitting smoking. They can also help you with using this Web site
and can tell you about NCI's printed and electronic materials. Cancer
information specialists have access to comprehensive, accurate information on a
range of cancer topics, including the most recent advances in cancer treatment.
They are knowledgeable, caring, and experienced at explaining medical
information. The service is confidential, and information specialists spend as
much time as needed for thorough and personalized responses.
Important:
NCI provides cancer related information for your general knowledge. Please note
we cannot answer personal medical questions, make referrals to specific doctors
or institutions, or give medical advice. Concerns about a medical condition -
either your own or that of a family member or friend, should always be directed
to a health care professional.
NCI's central Web site (http://www.ncipoet.org)
has extensive information on cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment,
statistics, research, clinical trials, and news, as well as links to other NCI
Web sites. See Help Using the NCI Web
Site for more information.
The answer to your question may be in our Web site's
FAQs list.
