Cancer Information Service
What is the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Information Service (CIS)?
For more than 30 years, the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service has been dedicated to educating people about cancer. Through its network of 14 regional offices and partnerships with nonprofit, private and other government agencies, the CIS reaches people who do not traditionally seek health information.
The CIS offers:
- Experienced public health professionals
- Cancer education and program planning resources
- Evidence-based methods to plan and implement programs for underserved populations
Our Partnership Program collaborates with partner organizations to deliver cancer control and education programs to help improve the health of underserved populations.
Our Research Program advances the field of cancer and health communications by partnering with investigators to develop and implement collaborative research projects.
You can learn more at the CIS website http://www.cancer.gov/cis/ or by calling 1-800-4-CANCER.
