texascancersurvivor.info Survivorship Portal

The texascancersurvivor.info portal aims to address the objective of increasing Texans' knowledge of survivorship issues by providing links to pre-screened survivorship websites and publications. The sites have been reviewed for quality using a predetermined criteria and are organized by survivorship topic and cancer type. These links include websites based in Texas as well as those found across the country that contain information or services that are available to Texans. Texas based sites are identified by a small Texas icon.

Links were reviewed by the Goal V Subcommittee of the Texas Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition (now the Cancer Alliance of Texas) for survivorship content and categorized into over thirty emotional, physical and practical/economic topics, such as finding support, pain management and insurance. Texas Cancer Information would like to thank this group of dedicated professionals for their ongoing support of this initiative.
