Prediction Tools @ mskcc.org
Researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have pioneered the use of computerized statistical devices that calculate probabilities based on the unique characteristics of a patient's cancer. These tools may enable doctors and patients to decide among several treatment options to ensure that patients at greatest risk of recurrence are more aggressively treated, while patients at low risk can avoid unnecessary additional treatment. Several of these prediction tools, called nomograms, are available in easy-to-use online versions on the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Web site. These include tools that predict outcomes for surgery and radiation therapy in prostate cancer ;a tool that calculates the risk of bladder cancer recurrence five years after radical cystectomy

Managing Physical and Emotional Changes @ American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society's Web site presents specific information about managing side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, such as confusion, constipation, poor appetite, and hair loss. For each side effect, there is information about what to expect, what to do to manage that symptom, and when to call your doctor. The site also includes worksheets to track side effects and to record cancer pain.
