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.
