| Welcome
to the Cochrane Cancer Network |
People (patients, carers, health care
professionals, researchers, or policy makers) faced with
having to make critical health care decisions relating
to cancer need to be aware, and have a right to know,
which interventions have been shown to be effective and
which haven't.
The Cochrane Cancer Network represents the cancer wing
of the Cochrane Collaboration: the international non-profit
and independent organisation that produces and disseminates
systematic reviews of healthcare interventions.
Mission statement of the Cochrane Cancer Network:
To facilitate the preparation, maintenance and dissemination
of Cochrane systematic reviews in cancer addressing the
information needs of cancer patients, clinical practitioners
and researchers.
The preparation and maintenance of Cochrane reviews in
cancer is the responsibility of 14 Cochrane Collaborative
Review Groups based around the world. Cochrane reviews
are disseminated electronically through the Cochrane Database
of Systematic Reviews. The Cochrane Database of Systematic
Reviews is published quarterly as part of The Cochrane
Library and the NeLH Cancer Specialist Library.
