Understanding Cancer Genomics (PowerPoint)
- (LARGE FILE - 23.8 MB) Download this PowerPoint file that illustrates cancer genomics - the study of the human cancer genome. It is a search within "cancer families" and patients for the full collection of genes and mutations--both inherited and sporadic--that contribute to the development of a cancer cell and its progression from a localized cancer to one that grows uncontrolled and metastasizes (spreads throughout the body).

Understanding Cancer Pain
- This booklet is designed to provide cancer patients and their families with information about why patients have pain, the different ways pain can be treated, and what patients can do when they have pain. (National Cancer Institute) http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/understanding-cancer-pain

Understanding Estrogen Receptors (SERMs)
- Online PowerPoint presentation that illustrates how estrogen receptors of different target tissues vary in chemical structure. These differences allow estrogen-like drugs to interact in different ways with the estrogen receptors of different tissues. Such drugs are called selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, because they selectively stimulate or inhibit the estrogen receptors of different target tissues.

Understanding Genetic Variation (SNPs)
- Online PowerPoint presentation that illustrates the scientific concepts of genetic variation. The most common type of genetic variation is called a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). (National Cancer Institute) http://cancer.gov/cancertopics/understandingcancer/geneticvariation

Understanding Molecular Diagnostics
- Online PowerPoint Presentation that illustrates molecular diagnostics. Borrowing from two new disciplines, genomics (gee-no-micks) and proteomics (proh-tee-oh-mics), molecular diagnostics categorizes cancer using technology such as mass spectrometry and gene chips.
