SCIENCE AND EVIDENCE BASED CANCER INFORMATION WEBSITES

INTRODUCTION A mission of The Montana Cancer Control Coalition (MTCCC) is “to develop, implement, promote, and advocate for a statewide, coordinated, integrated approach to cancer control for all Montanans.” The Montana Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan states that an important step to achieving this mission is to provide links to evidence-based cancer information. The Treatment & Research Team, with the assistance of the rest of the MTCCC, developed a resource list of science and evidence-based cancer information websites. The websites are divided into categories and subcategories to facilitate efficient use of the information. To the extent possible, we have chosen sites representing little or no commercial bias. This is a document that will evolve with the science and with time. The document will be reviewed and updated annually by the Treatment and Research Team.
