The cancer info section of the texascancer.info website provides you with the ability to look at/for information about cancer on the site in different ways. Instead of using the top navigation bar and looking under the specific database/type of data, such as facilities or statistical information, you can look for information from the perspective of who you are or where you are in the continuum of cancer care.
