In addition to the resource links for disease sites and supportive care to recently published literature as found on the websites of Pubmed, the B.C. Cancer Agency, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and MedlinePlus pages as provided on the pages for the disease sites, the following sites and literature searches may be useful as well.
Below are Pubmed cancer related generalized topic literature searches for the current 3 years, non-site specific.

To request fulltext articles of references or to request other literature searches, contact the JCC Library Services staff by email at librarian@jcc.hhsc.ca or by phone at extension 65100.
