The Internet has seen an explosive growth in the past few years, and masses of information on cancer are readily available to anyone with a live connection. Unfortunately, the vast majority of this information is presented in long test passages, with few illustrations and non multi- media elements to increase user interest. Absent are materials that help people appreciate how basic research in cancer genetics is being rapidly translated into new options for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. We seek support to create an extensive WWW site, Inside Cancer, which literally will take people into the workings of the cancer cell and into the laboratories of scientists who are revolutionizing cancer research. Building upon the project staff's strong experience in building multimedia WWW sites, Inside Cancer will make use of the most up-to- date technology to merge animation and video into a visually stimulating experience. At the same time, the project draws scientific authority from a world-renowned research institute and advisors who have played important roles in the development of modern cancer research. Five modules will be developed. What is Cancer? quickly answers this and other related questions in short animations and prepares more curious visitors for the next modules. Cancer in the Laboratory features researchers explaining animated sequences of their own experiments, which laid the foundation for understanding cancer at the molecular level. Cancer Causes and Prevention animates the molecular events triggered by carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke and diet and emphasizes how lifestyle changes can reduce cancer risk. In Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment visitors shadow doctors making a cancer diagnosis, showing the connections between cancer cell alterations and new treatment options. Pathways to Cancer takes visitors on a 3-dimensional tour of a cell and its signaling pathways, then allows them to see downstream effects of mutations and their relation to cancer development. As new findings and therapies are discovered, we will update the modules to keep Inside Cancer current.

在过去的几年里，互联网经历了爆炸式的增长，任何人都可以通过实时连接获得大量关于癌症的信息。不幸的是，这些信息的绝大多数都是以很长的测试段落呈现的，很少有插图和非多媒体元素来增加用户的兴趣。缺少的是帮助人们了解癌症遗传学基础研究如何迅速转化为诊断、治疗和预防的新选择的材料。我们寻求支持，以创建一个广泛的万维网网站，癌症内部，这实际上将带人们进入癌细胞的运作，并进入科学家的实验室谁是革命性的癌症研究。基于项目工作人员在建立多媒体万维网网站方面的丰富经验，《癌症内幕》将利用最新的技术，将动画和视频融合成一种视觉刺激的体验。同时，该项目还吸引了来自世界知名研究机构的科学权威和顾问，他们在现代癌症研究的发展中发挥了重要作用。将开发五个模块。什么是癌症？快速回答这个问题和其他相关问题的简短动画，并准备更多好奇的游客为下一个模块。癌症在实验室的特点是研究人员解释他们自己的实验动画序列，这奠定了在分子水平上理解癌症的基础。癌症的原因和预防动画的致癌物质，如烟草烟雾和饮食引发的分子事件，并强调如何改变生活方式可以降低癌症的风险。在癌症诊断和治疗中，参观者跟随医生进行癌症诊断，展示癌细胞改变和新治疗方案之间的联系。Pathways to Cancer带领参观者进行细胞及其信号通路的三维之旅，然后让他们看到突变的下游效应及其与癌症发展的关系。随着新的发现和疗法的发现，我们将更新模块，以保持癌症内部的最新信息。
