Recommended Cancer Websites
Cancer Monthly - launched January 1, 2005 www.cancermonthly.com
Cancer Monthly was created by parents who had lost their children to cancer and realized that better information was needed to make more informed treatment decisions. Today, Cancer Monthly is the only centralized source of cancer treatment results in the world. Patients can see the actual clinical results of hundreds of different cancer treatments used in over 20 countries - how long did other patients survive, what was their quality of life, where is the treatment available. Treatments reviewed include: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. Cancers include advanced or metastatic brain, breast, colon, kidney (renal), liver, lung, melanoma, mesothelioma, ovarian, prostate, and rectal. With a click, patients can also contact a doctor responsible for the treatment and print out a medical summary about the therapy for their own physicians. All the data comes from the peer reviewed medical and scientific literature. This information helps patients make treatment decisions based on facts. It has been used by nearly a million patients and clinicians from around the world since its launch on January 1, 2005.
My Cancer Place - launched July 12, 2006 www.mycancerplace.com
My Cancer Place is the first and most comprehensive virtual community for cancer patients. Modeled on MySpace, it allows cancer patients and their loved ones to connect and network with other, share personal stories and emotional support, discuss treatment information and resources, listen to teleconferences, find out about cancer events, participate in groups and forums, and create personal web pages with text and pictures that can be updated and changed easily.
Surviving Mesothelioma - published October 2005 www.survivingmesothelioma.com
"Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide" is the first book published by Cancer Monthly. It was written by Paul Kraus who was diagnosed in June 1997 with terminal mesothelioma, an aggressive type of cancer, and sent home to die. Instead of giving up, he created his own path to healing and continues to enjoy a good quality of life. Because this is an inspirational story for patients suffering from mesothelioma and other cancers, Cancer Monthly sponsors teleconferences so that patients can listen to Mr. Kraus. During these calls, Mr. Kraus provides further details about the choices he made, the treatments he used, and answers questions from patients and family members. All participants are inspired by this remarkable man and story.
CancerWire - published every month www.cancermonthly.com/cancerwire.asp
CancerWire is Cancer Monthly's free monthly e-newsletter that presents original interviews and news stories about important cancer topics. The focus is on integrative therapies, health freedom, and other subjects that directly impact a patient's ability to make informed treatment decisions.
Health Search Plus - launched November 13, 2006 www.healthsearchplus.com
Health Search Plus is Cancer Monthly's web search tool that allows cancer patients and others to perform more comprehensive and quicker health searches. The tool allows users to simultaneously search 30 key databases, including: the National Institute of Health website, FDA, Centers for Disease Control, Pubmed, Clinical Trials Database, Medical Dictionary, Books, People, Blogs, News, Videos, Audio Recordings, Google and Yahoo. This helps users quickly retrieve the most comprehensive health information from some of the more trustworthy sources on the web. It saves time because the tool searches all of these databases simultaneously so users need only one search instead of thirty.
