Understanding Targeted Cancer Therapies Tutorials

This project, made possible by $650,000 in private-sector contributions to the Foundation for NIH, was overseen by the National Cancer Institute.  Through it, animated tutorials were created to help oncologists and oncology nurses, as well as other health professionals, explain and review treatment options with their patients.  The tutorials, available on the National Cancer Institute’s Web site, www.cancer.gov, provide up-to-date information on current clinical trials; encourage participation in trials; and establish targeted therapies as a standard of care.
