When you're facing a serious illness like cancer, finding out more information about your diagnosis can be confusing and frustrating --especially if you're looking for it on the Internet. The web is full of medical information. The challenge is determining which sources you can rely on for accurate, current and trustworthy information, and which ones are out of date, not relevant or just plain wrong.

Cut through the confusion by going to www.cancer.net. The official website of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the world's foremost organization of cancer physicians, Cancer.Net provides easy-to-understand, up-to-date, reliable cancer information, reviewed and approved by oncology experts.
