Reviewing the Literature

Hi All,

Thanks to those who have taken the time to participate in my poll. I still need more responses though. As a result I will keep the poll going for a while longer. Maybe it will continue for the rest of next month or at least a part of April. It is really important to get to know who you are in terms of why you come to this site. For example, a cancer patient with a recent diagnosis may be looking for a different type of information than say a cancer survivor.

I am also starting another section within the cancer topic. This one is for cancer reviews. I think that a lot of the difficulty with a cancer diagnosis is the massive volume of data out there. The temptation will naturally be to try to look through it all – of course that is impossible. The section will comprise reviews on various forms of cancer literature. These may be books, journal articles, magazines or what ever other form.

There will be other writers who may contribute, as long as it is on the topic of cancer. I will also need your input. If you find any resource on cancer that you would like reviewed just let me know. You will have to send the relevant material though. Just send me an email and we can arrange this.

So far there are three reviews up. These are on the following books: ‘What you don’t know can kill you’, ‘Cancer vixen’ and ‘The journey through cancer'. If you get a chance to read any of them, please don’t hesitate to share your opinion in the discussion forum – Looking forward to this.

Talk soon.
