There are many places to get reliable cancer information, both in text form and on the Internet. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of unreliable information as well so it is important to locate information from the most credible sources possible. Publications and websites from government (.gov) and educational (.edu) organizations are good places to begin. We have chosen a few sources that we feel are accurate and reliable.
