Interactive Tutorial

I find this tutorial website to be a great resource not only for patient education, but for anyone looking for more information on the subject. This multimedia resource is very affective because it combines sound and picture for explanations. The National Library of Medicine intended this website to be for cancer patients, but it is a great learning tool for students to learn basic information about breast cancer.
This tutorial gives general medical information about the causes of cancer, symptoms of breast cancer, diagnosis, treatment, etc. The pictures and diagrams are very helpful to understand the way way that cancer works in the body. Chemotherapy and surgery options are explained in detail as well
