The National Cancer Institute (NCI) launched a new mobile initiative that will increase access to its comprehensive cancer information website, cancer.gov. Designed specifically for mobile phone users on any mobile platform, the site offers much of the same high-quality information found on cancer.gov‘s desktop site.
M.cancer.gov is available in English and Spanish and offers credible, current information about a wide range of cancer types, diagnosis and treatment, dealing with side effects, and other topics. Users can also access cancer news, a dictionary of cancer terms that includes audio pronunciations, and a one-touch connection to NCI’s 1-800-4-CANCER line, where they can talk directly with an NCI cancer information specialist who can answer their cancer questions and provide personalized, up-to-date information and support.
Arranged for simple navigation from any mobile browser, the site provides cancer patients, their loved ones, and their caregivers with easy access to the cancer information they need, when they need it. Go ahead – try it out!
