The National Cancer Center Japan has begun providing computer-based free cancer information called the National Cancer Center-Cancer Information Service (NCC-CIS) for patients and their families, and physicians and other health professionals via fax line, Internet or personal computer. This system was launched in 1996. NCC-CIS in Japanese is modeled on the Physician Data Query produced by the National Cancer Institute in the United State and produced from an independent standpoint pertaining to the medical and social environment of Japan. NCC-CIS will provide up-to-date cancer treatment (staging, prognosis and state-of-the-art treatment by disease stage) and supportive care for each type of cancer including a directory of organizations and announcements of lecture meetings in Japan to facilitate cancer enlightenment for the people and to support decision-making for physicians resulting in reduced cancer deaths.
