New York Region
The Cancer Information Service of New York is
one of 14 regional offices of the National Cancer
Institute (NCI), the Nation's lead agency for
cancer research. Huntington Hospital is pleased
to host the regional CIS program and to collaborate
with CIS in bringing current, accurate information
on state-of-the-art cancer research, treatment
and prevention to the Long Island community.
The Cancer Information Service (CIS) was established
in 1976 by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
to meet the information needs of cancer patients,
their families, health professionals, and the
public. As the nation's foremost source for cancer
information, the CIS applies a unique health communications
model to bring the latest research findings on
cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and supportive
care to the nation. It does this through three
main program components:
- a Partnership Program that focuses on
providing expertise and technical assistance,
specifically to partners reaching minority and
underserved audiences, and
- an initiative in cancer communications
research.
