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.
