Most of the TCI posters made their television debut on the July 1, 2010 episode of the USA Network original series Burn Notice entitled Neighborhood Watch.
How did the TCI posters get their big break? The Art Department Coordinator for the show was looking for medical/healthy living posters for the clinic scenes when she "discovered" the TCI educational posters on the website and saw their star potential. The posters received glowing reviews and may be used in a future episode, as well.
TCI responds to requests from physicians, other health care professionals and community groups for TCI brochures and educational posters for distribution to the general public through their offices or community health fairs. You can find links to PDFs of TCI posters and other educational materials and how to request copies at http://www.texascancer.info/poster.
Texas Cancer Information’s Access to Cancer Care for Low-Income and Uninsured Texans is your guide to cancer screening and treatment services for low-income and uninsured Texans in each of Texas’ 254 counties. TCI now has information on services in the following 72 counties available in Spanish.

TCI has updated our educational poster Cervical Cancer/Cáncer cervical - Every woman’s health is worth protecting. This bilingual (English/Spanish) poster focuses on the best ways to prevent and look for the symptoms of cervical cancer as well as what information TCI has regarding cervical cancer.
