Who is it for?
The series is divided into two levels that address
the specific needs of cancer patients,
their caregivers, health care professionals, medical
students, clinics and institutions. Written
in clear and accessible language, the General
Level gives patients and their caregivers
the information they need to understand cancer
and its treatment, participate actively in their
own care and communicate effectively with their
health care team. The General+Clinical
Level includes all of the content in
the General Level as well as advanced information
that can be used by health care professionals,
medical students, and patients who are more advanced
learners. Patients wishing to upgrade from the
General Level to the General+Clinical Level can
do so via a simple and convenient Internet download.
