Ketchum, ID — March 19, 2002— CancerConsultants.com has launched a new comprehensive oncology portal for physicians. The new resource for oncology professionals was designed to provide practice and information services to providers of cancer care. Since its launch in February 2002, the CancerConsultants.com Physician Portal has already accumulated over 2,300 registered physician members.
Information services include conference coverage of all major oncology meetings, current topics in oncology, and a daily cancer news service summarizing key journal articles. All content is selected and written by Oncology or Hematology physicians.
Practice services include physician recruitment, clinical trials placement, drug purchasing and reimbursement support and the development of custom Internet applications for oncology providers. CancerConsultants.com has already developed Internet applications for over 50 oncology programs in the United States.
CancerConsultants.com has been the leading provider of cancer information for patients and caregivers since 1998. By expanding its online platform to include physicians, CancerConsultants.com offers the most comprehensive oncology resource on the Internet. Furthermore, the CancerConsultants.com Physician Portal is unique from other physician resources because it is easy to navigate and does not require physician registration, a known deterrent to portal use by professionals. Moreover, CancerConsultants.com was developed and is managed by oncology professionals, including some of the nation’s leading oncologists. By having oncologists working for oncologists, CancerConsultants.com ensures that physicians have access to the most current and pertinent information.
