It is the first-ever national cancer awareness research and training infrastructure intended to address Asian American concerns. The overall mission of the AANCART is to reduce cancer health disparities by conducting community-based participatory education, training, and research by, for, and with Asian Americans. This national Network is comprised of four NCI cancer centers and their associated universities, the California Department of Public Health, Chinese Community Health Care Association, and the Hmong Women's Heritage Association. Cumulatively, this Network serves approximately 40% of all Asian Americans. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=515014 CCO's comprehensive coverage of the clinical oncology meeting in Chicago, Illinois, includes Capsule Summaries of the most clinically relevant data presented at the meeting, audio highlights, original CCO highlights slidesets, and CME/CE-certified Expert Analyses to help you understand the implications of these new data for clinical practice.

Usually they can be treated successfully when found early״. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=515066 NCI's informational section about the genetics and types of skin cancer. There are more than 100 types of tumors that are clinically apparent on the skin; many of these are known to have familial components, either in isolation or as part of a syndrome with other features. This is, in part, because the skin itself is a complex organ made up of multiple cell types. Furthermore, many of these cell types can undergo malignant transformation at various points in their differentiation, leading to tumors with distinct histology and dramatically different biological behaviors, such as squamous cell cancer (SCC) and basal cell cancers (BCC). In addition to malignant tumors, there are also many types of benign tumors. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=515054 RareTumors.Org is a peer-reviewed on-line database devoted to rare tumours in free access over the Internet. The aim is to cover the entire field under study. It is made for and by: clinicians and researchers in oncology, haematology, pathology, and genetics. Projects include: Rare Urologic Tumors, Rare Melanoma, Rare Skin Tumors, Rare Breast Cancer, and HINT-OUT (Histopathological Imaging for Networked Teleconsultation On Uncommon Tumours). http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=515029 This website presents podcasts that are categorized by topic.
