A comprehensive review of selected cancer websites.
With increasing availability of information on the Internet, it makes sense for health care professionals to use this resource to expand the range of resources available to both themselves and to clients. This paper was designed to provide health care professionals with a starting point from which to gather further website oncology resources. An established template for evaluating websites is described and criteria regarding the accuracy of information, site design, and navigation are examined. While the initial phase of this paper evaluated numerous sites, only the top five as noted by the author are presented here.
