The Cancer Gateway of Texas

 

The Cancer Gateway of Texas provides state residents convenient and organized access to cancer-related resources, publications and information available on the Internet that meet the criteria developed by the Texas Cancer Data Center staff and Advisory Committee. Internet websites that are selected are organized into categories by cancer type, including colon and rectum, and by topic area, such as prevention, treatment and support.

Links accessible through the Gateway include but are not limited to Texas-based sites; they include national organizations and unique agencies and groups that feature credible information on rare cancers or general cancer-related issues that may be beneficial to Texans.
