At the Innovis Health Cancer Center, we encourage our clients to find as much information as they'd like about their illness or treatment. Searching on the Internet can sometimes be misleading. These sites sometimes offer invalid data or ill-advised treatments. Anyone can make a Web site. The problem is finding correct and accurate information. If you search the Web, look for credible sites such as the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute.
