Original Summaries of CANCERLIT Abstracts

Cancer Web provides substantive information on cancer risk, diagnosis, and treatment culled from current biomedical publications referenced in the National Cancer Institute's CANCERLIT database.

Cancer Web entries have been selected and reviewed by William A. Creasey, D.Phil.
Dr. Creasey has spent more than twenty-five years in basic and clinical cancer research, both at academic institutions and in industry. He also directed a cancer information service for the National Cancer Institute over a five-year period. Cancer Web entries include unique alphanumeric accession numbers (e.g., ICDB/95612345) which can be used to search the CANCERLIT database for complete citations and abstracts.
