About this site

This Web site represents our third generation in the evolving process of designing an educational resource to meet the needs of an ever-increasing online audience of health care consumers, cancer patients and survivors, professionals seeking accurate, reliable information about cancer, cancer research and the translation of research into cancer care. 

Information contained within this site comes from a variety of sources, including VCU Massey Cancer Center departments and professionals. Although every effort is made to present current and accurate information, Virginia Commonwealth University and Massey do not author or edit all of the pages presented here and therefore cannot assume responsibility for all information. The contents of this Web site, as with all VCU Web sites, are governed by the VCU Web Publishing Guidelines.

Web site accessibility: Massey is committed to providing a Web site that can be viewed and navigated easily by individuals that are visually or hearing impaired and is Section 508 compliant. Section 508 is a federal amendment to the Americans with Disabilities Act that lists certain features that a Web site must include in order to be accessible to people with a visual disability. VCU’s Web presence also includes text-only pages for the top two levels of its Web site. If you would like additional information on accessibility, please visit the VCU Accessibility Web Site.
