There is a new in depth news service that aggregates cancer-related
news from across the Internet.  It provides support for cancer
patients and there families by helping to find news and resources
around the world.
It is currently categorizing the results under Treatment Options,
Research, and General Cancer News.

You can find this site at http://www.cancercolossus.com/

Hope you find it useful.

You might want to learn about "there" and "their."

I am sure it is useful for your pocketbook. However, as a patient resource,
not only  does it have several mistakes in HTML coding, but it doesn't look
a trust-worthy source of info.

Hi again,

To be clear:  this is a news and blog aggregator, and we are not
selling or promoting any cures, treatments, etc.  It is purely
intended as a central resource for information being published online.
That's it.

While I took a fair amount of time to vet the RSS and blog feeds, we
do not vet individual articles - this is an automated aggregation
service. I advise anyone using the Internet to verify all sources of
information - whether it is a personal blog or Google News.

The short answer to your concern is this - I am a cancer survivor, and
this site costs me money. If it actually made money, I had already
posted on the web site that it would be donated. All of this is
explained in the FAQ. And as a patient, I would of found this resource
very useful. Any advertising is along the border of the site, and
clearly marked as advertising links and are meant to help offset the
costs. It also took me a long, long time to make.

Much of the HTML is from the broadcasting news sources, so we have no
control over that part of it

Sorry for any misunderstanding. I trust the spelling was more to your
liking.

Chris
