CancerNet last revised: March 1, 1995
CancerNet is a quick and easy way to obtain, through electronic mail, cancer
information from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). CancerNet lets you
request information statements from the NCI's Physician Data Query (PDQ)
database, fact sheets on various cancer topics from the NCI's Office of Cancer
Communications, and citations and abstracts on selected topics from the
CANCERLIT database. Selected information is also available in Spanish. You
can access CancerNet through a number of different networks including BITNET
and Internet. There is no charge for the service unless your local computer
center charges for use of e-mail. The CancerNet Contents List (included here)
changes at the beginning of each month as new information is included.
CancerNet is an automated system that reads standardized requests and then
returns the requested information via electronic mail. CancerNet cannot
respond to requests for information that is not found in the system, such as
lists of clinical trials. If you have trouble using CancerNet, you may call
1-800-624-7890 (within the U.S.) or (301) 496-7600 (if outside the U.S.) or
send a message to cheryl at icicb.nci.nih.gov on the Internet.
Instructions
1. Address your mail message to:
cancernet at icicb.nci.nih.gov
[If you are not on Internet, you may have to change the format of
the address. Consult with your systems manager for the correct
address format.]
2. In the body of the message:
Enter the CancerNet ID from the Contents List for the desired
information. If you need the updated contents list, enter the
word "help" in the body of the message ("spanish" if you want
the Spanish contents list). If you want more than one piece of
information, enter the code for each piece of information
on a separate line within the message.
Your request must be in the BODY of the message, not the
subject line. You can type a subject for your message if
you wish, but CancerNet will not read it.
Examples:
To receive the PDQ breast cancer statement for
health professionals:
To: cancernet at icicb.nci.nih.gov
Subject:
cn-100013 <this is the body of the message..>
// ... //
3. End your message. If you requested multiple items within a
single request, each item will be returned to you in a separate
message. It usually takes about 10 minutes for you to receive
your information, although delays in connections across the
Internet may cause you to receive your request later.
WARNING: Individual statements may exceed 100K and some mail systems are
limited in the size of the mail messages a user can receive. Please
check your mail and storage capacity prior to submitting requests.
The information in CancerNet is updated monthly, and many items change from
one month to the next.

CANCERNET AVAILABLE LOCALLY, PLEASE REQUEST STATEMENT CN-400030. THE NCI WILL
