Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology

The Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology is a peer reviewed on-line journal and database in free access on internet devoted to genes, cytogenetics, and clinical entities in cancer, and cancer-prone diseases.
Cancer Genome Atlas

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), launched by the National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute, is a comprehensive and coordinated effort to accelerate our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing.


Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Vol. IX

National Cancer Institute Search for Clinical Trials

The National Cancer Institute’s database of more than 8,000 open clinical trials can be searched by cancer type and narrowed by stage, geographic location of trial, type of treatment or intervention and other parameters to find specific trials which match the searcher’s requirements.


National Comprehensive Cancer Network

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), a not-for-profit alliance of 21 of the world’s leading cancer centers, is dedicated to improving the quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients with cancer.


NCRI Online Information Exchange (ONIX)

The NCRI Oncology Information Exchange (ONIX) was developed as part of the answer to how the cancer research community can make more effective use of the vast amounts of information that is generated in this field. ONIX aims to achieve this by making the discovery of information easier, quicker and more efficient by connecting to and cataloguing useful cancer-related resources.


SEER Cancer Statistics

The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program is a premier source for cancer statistics in the United States. SEER collects information on incidence, survival, and prevalence from specific geographic areas representing 26 percent of the US population and compiles reports on all of these plus cancer mortality for the entire US.


Stats Cancer Profiles

Takes SEER data and generates maps and graphs of cancer rates and trends by timeframe and geography.
