Welcome

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer or one of the many other cancers that are diagnosed each year? Are you trying to find information to make treatment decisions? Are you searching the web looking for information about cancer? By now you have probably already learned that there is no answer book. We’ve been there. We understand what it is like to navigate the cancer maze.

CISN is a grassroots organization composed of survivors, family members, friends and advocates. We have compiled trusted consultants to assist us in our work.

 

Our aim is to provide information and a home to those affected by cancer. We invite you to visit our website often as you or your loved one progress on the journey through your diagnosis and survivorship path.

 

You Are Not Alone

Do you need help? Are you struggling to learn a lot in a short time? That is where we come in to provide a helping hand.

We translate technical information about research, treatments, survivorship, and other important cancer issues. Art, humor, poetry, and inspirational stories are also featured here to nurture all aspects of your being.

We are committed to a patient focus in all of our work. Through our own personal experiences, we have deep understanding and respect for the critical role you play in your own health care. We will assist you and your loved ones by providing clear, concise, patient-centered information and support, as well as educational tools designed to help you make the best decisions possible.

Free e-Training

As medical research continues to bring new advances to health care, it is important for people to understand them. What is personalized medicine? What are clinical trials? What is targeted therapy?

CISN provides free e-training for patients, advocates and medical professionals who want to better understand these topics as well as cancer and cancer research. Please visit the Free e-Training page to learn more.

 

Latina Navigator Training

The purpose of this training is to provide non-English speaking or limited-English speaking Latina women with trained navigators (Promotores) to assist them as they meet with their doctor about treatment choices including clinical trial options.

The training consists of a training for Navigators in both English and Spanish and two letters in English for patients, one explaining clinical trials and one explaining tissue donation.
