Need Cancer Patient Education Tools?
Our award-winning cancer education content is now available for licensing and syndication.
The National Academy of Science reports in Cancer Care for the Whole Patient, that patients’ distress over “lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness…cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients’ return to health.”1
Since 1994 OncoLink® has been committed to helping cancer patients better understand their disease, make educated treatment decisions, and incorporate self-management techniques into side effect management and survivorship. We believe that an educated patient is more actively involved in their care, making them more likely to adhere to their prescribed treatment, and resulting in improved outcomes. Providing patients and caregivers with education regarding treatment, side effects, and survivorship concerns increases satisfaction with the provider-patient relationship and overall care experience.
Our content is the collective work of Penn Medicine cancer experts. More than 200 cancer experts write, edit, and continually update hundreds of cancer education pieces and personalized educational tools for OncoLink® every year.
Our award-winning cancer education content is available for licensing or syndication for your patient education needs. Let our team work with you to provide the products that best serve your patient education needs.
