title: The PDQ database: what the primary care physician needs to know about current treatments for cancer and AIDS.
abstract: The National Cancer Institute's PDQ database is the most current source of peer-reviewed information available today on state-of-the-art treatment of cancer and AIDS. It can serve the primary care physician as a principal reference point for decisions regarding consultation, referral, and patient care, and it is relatively simple and inexpensive to use. The new PDQ ACCESS microcomputer soft-ware enables untrained searchers automatically to execute current literature searches of the CANCERLIT database, as an adjunct to searching PDQ.
