Patient Information
In this section we summarise several common urological ‘conditions’:
Cancer Information
People Living With Cancer, the American Society of Clinical Oncology's patient Web site, provides oncologist-approved information on more than 50 types of cancer, including their symptoms, diagnosis, staging, and treatment. The site also includes information about managing side effects and offers message boards. For many of the common cancers -- breast, lung, colon, head and neck, for example -- there is a tailored list of questions that patients may want to ask their doctors about treatment and related issues, as well as information about research on the horizon.
Managing Physical and Emotional Changes
The American Cancer Society's Web site presents specific information about managing side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, such as confusion, constipation, poor appetite, and hair loss. For each side effect, there is information about what to expect, what to do to manage that symptom, and when to call your doctor. The site also includes worksheets to track side effects and to record cancer pain.
