Physician Data Query

Physician Data Query (PDQ) 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 information about ongoing clinical trials.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The PDQ database is designed to provide current, evidence-based information to health professionals and the public. It is updated monthly by a team of health professionals and information specialists who review the latest research findings published in scientific journals.

Content[edit | edit source]

The PDQ database contains summaries on a wide range of cancer topics, each of which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed. These summaries are available in two versions: one for health professionals and one for the general public. Both versions provide current, evidence-based information on cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and supportive care.

The PDQ database is freely accessible to the public through the NCI's website. It is also available to health professionals through subscription-based services, such as PubMed and other medical databases.

Use in Research[edit | edit source]
