Abstract:
|
|
NCI and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) have developed a disaster wallet card that is being piloted with oncologists in the Gulf Coast states in the event of a severe hurricane. The wallet card guides displaced cancer patients to ASCO’s patient information Web site and NCI’s Cancer Information Service (CIS) national toll-free number (1-800-4-CANCER), LiveHelp instant messaging service, and e-mail service available at www.cancer.gov/help. Oncology practices in the Gulf States can order copies of the card by calling CIS at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237. Because this is a pilot program for hurricane season, quantities should be limited to 100 per order and to those in Gulf and Atlantic costal states.
