National Prostate Cancer Coalition -
E-mail Newsletter (April 2003)
"AWARE": an excellent source of
information for patient and doctor alike. As I have learned, cyberspace is
stuffed to overflowing with bits of information about prostate cancer. The
trick is to click into information that is useful, timely,
well-researched, and well-presented. The twice weekly e-mail
communication, "AWARE", fits the bill - certainly for patients, and
really, for doctors also. It is the production of the research staff of
the National Prostate Cancer Coalition, easily subscribed to, and
delivered to your e-mail screen Tuesdays and Fridays. Tuesday's edition
covers news and patient oriented issues. Friday features more science
based data such as clinical trials, new advances, and a very well done
section on newly published research. In perusing this area I found I was
clicking into links that took me to the same data base, the very abstracts
that I consult through PubMed. AWARE's research staff, however, has
narrowed the field to ten or twelve pertinent articles. I highly recommend
that we do our patients a favor and guide them to this site. (And sneak a
look ourselves to be brought up to date ... and know what our patients are
learning.)
