| CancerFax and CancerNet are free services that allow users to access data from NCI databases. CancerFax allows users to dial into one of ICIC's computers from a fax machine and retrieve a faxed image of any of the Physician Data Query (PDQ) statements on cancer screening, prevention, treatment, or supportive care in English or Spanish, current CANCERLIT searches on over 60 topics, and over 100 Fact Sheets from NCI's Office of Cancer Communications. CancerNet is a free e-mail service on the Internet, enabling users to obtain free access to the same information in CancerFax. Additional cancer information is being added to CancerFax and CancerNet, and utilization is increasing rapidly. Approximately 30% of CancerNet requests originate outside the U.S. This information is also available and highly used on Gopher servers at NIH, Tokyo, Japan, and Singapore. ICIC strategic plans call for emphasis on the creation of multi-media information servers to take advantage of technology advances and R&D in the areas of communications and personal multi-media/computing devices. |

Began to develop a series of digital information products that contain integrated text, graphics, sound, and full motion video over the Internet using the World Wide Web.
Began to develop the use of these complex data types in the ICIC information product. This will permit NCI to distribute multi-media products: PDQ, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute; the Journal of the National Cancer Institute Monographs; OCC educational booklets, and other special reports from the NCI using full multi-media capabilities. Peer review and programming for CD-I on breast cancer screening and treatment options will be completed and CD- I prepared for distribution. Began facilitating electronic CancerNet delivery to community networks. |
Continue to develop multi-media informational products for distribution via the Internet:
Build a reliable network of sources for multimedia such as medical images, patient oriented videos, etc., and develop the ability to create these materials where not already available. Develop an infrastructure to maintain these media and to disseminate multimedia enhanced cancer information. Explore the dissemination of this information using cable TV and telephone lines. Continue working with community networks to utilize ICIC's electronic information products. |
Complete client server integrated multi-media database to serve communication media of the future. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
