Information by Cancer Type


Information by Cancer Type provides access to Texas Cancer Information databases and documents and external websites that are related to specific major cancer sites, such as breast, cervical, childhood, colorectal, lung and prostate cancers. Here you will also find suggestions on how to search the databases for the site-specific information you need. If the cancer you are interested in is not included in its own section of the page, you will find a section with links to Texas Cancer Information databases, such as the Statistics and Links by Topic databases, as well as external sites that give you the option of finding information regarding other cancers.


To help direct you to the information you need, we have pre-selected the Texas Cancer Information databases and documents that may interest you if you are seeking information about the following cancers:
