Understanding Cancer series

Understanding Cancer is a set of tutorials provided by The National Cancer Institute on the biology of cancer, and particularly the role of genetics in contributing to cancer. Graphic slides can be easily adopted to presentation software, if not already in PowerPoint formats. The collection is a solid teaching resource for introductory-level students, and for public and patient education.

Inside Cancer: Multimedia Guide to Cancer Biology

Inside Cancer, a component of the DNA Learning Center, is an excellent introductory resource on the biology of cancer. Interactive tutorials, comprised of animated graphics with text or voice-over, cover cancer hallmarks, causes and prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and pathways. Some include videos and interactive quizzes, as well. The site also provides a password-protected Teacher Center which provides additional resources and software to build multimedia lessons.
