El National Cancer Institute ha puesto a disposicion de
los usuarios de BITNET e INTERNET un banco de datos con
el estado actual del tratamiento de los canceres, y
reactualizado mensualmente.
El mensaje que sigue indica como tener acceso. La Sta.
Cheryl Burg, cuyo ID figura al final tendra mucho
gusto en recibir mensajes aclaratorios directamente.
Esta facilidad debe ser de gran utilidad, especialmente
en Chile. En USA es accesible tambien por otros mecanismos.
El Banco de Datos se llama PDQ (Physicians Data Query)
Recomiendo comunicarlo y difundirlo en Chile.
Atentamente,
Dr. Jorge Litvak
