PDQ
PDQ (Physician Data Query) is a comprehensive cancer database developed and maintained by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). It provides peer-reviewed summaries on cancer treatment, screening, prevention, genetics, and supportive care, as well as a range of other topics. The database is designed to make the most current, credible, and accurate cancer information available to health professionals and the public.
Overview[edit | edit source]
PDQ is a free resource that offers comprehensive information about cancer treatment, prevention, screening, and supportive care. It is designed for health professionals and the public.
