Toolboxes
The Cancer Information Service (CIS) Toolboxes are for anyone or any organization that wishes to start or is presently operating a service that provides credible cancer information through a variety of communication methods. These toolboxes provide useful ideas and tutorials that will assist you as you start up, maintain and innovate within your CIS. The tools listed here were created by experienced cancer organizations from around the world, and together these tools provide a tested and proven way to address issues that are commonly faced when building a new CIS.
These Cancer Information Service Toolboxes were developed in collaboration with the International Union Against Cancer (UICC). We would like to extend a special thanks to past board member Marion E. Morra, who served as lead author in creating these toolboxes.
We are always working to add new content and resources to the Toolboxes in order to make them as helpful as possible to new CIS organizations who are seeking support. We would appreciate your feedback and your ideas on the how we make the Toolboxes more helpful to you.
