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.

This tutorial, provided through Cancer Research UK, introduces the topic "What is cancer?" in clear, concise terms. It includes various user-driven slideshows and graphics, and serves as a solid introduction for students beginning to study cancer, as well as patients.

patient education through MD Anderson

Multimedia provides a great way for health-care practitioners to educate patients about what they can expect to encounter as they go through testing and subsequent treatment, if necessary. For example, MD Anderson has produced materials on what patients can expect with a colonoscopy (top video) and what comes after discovery of a polyp (bottom video).
