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，互联网出现了爆炸性的增长，任何有实时连接的人都可以很容易地获得大量关于癌症的信息。不幸的是，这些信息中的绝大多数都是以较长的测试段落呈现的，几乎没有插图和非多媒体元素来增加用户的兴趣。缺乏帮助人们认识到癌症遗传学的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WWW网站--癌症内幕，它将把人们带入癌细胞的工作原理，并进入正在给癌症研究带来革命性变化的科学家的实验室。基于项目工作人员在建立多媒体WWW网站方面的丰富经验，Inside Cancer将利用最新的技术将动画和视频融合到视觉刺激的体验中。同时，该项目从世界著名的研究机构和顾问那里获得了科学权威，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。什么是巨蟹座？以简短的动画快速回答这个问题和其他相关问题，并让更多好奇的访问者为下一个模块做好准备。实验室中的癌症以研究人员解释他们自己的实验的动画序列为特色，这为在分子水平上理解癌症奠定了基础。癌症原因和预防激活了由致癌物引发的分子事件，如烟草烟雾和饮食，并强调生活方式的改变如何降低癌症风险。在癌症诊断和治疗中，参观者跟踪医生进行癌症诊断，展示癌细胞变化和新的治疗方案之间的联系。癌症路径带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影响及其与癌症发展的关系。随着新的发现和治疗方法的发现，我们将更新模块，以保持在癌症内部最新。
