INSIDE CANCER, MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION RESOURCES FOR CANCER

在过去的几年里，互联网经历了爆炸式的增长，任何有实时联系的人都可以随时获得大量关于癌症的信息。不幸的是，绝大多数的信息都是在长测试段落中呈现的，很少有插图和非多媒体元素来增加用户的兴趣。缺乏帮助人们理解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，Inside Cancer，它将带领人们进入癌细胞的工作原理和科学家的实验室，这些科学家正在彻底改变癌症研究。基于项目人员在建立多媒体WWW网站方面的丰富经验，Inside Cancer将利用最先进的技术将动画和视频融合到视觉刺激的体验中。同时，该项目从世界知名的研究机构和在现代癌症研究发展中发挥重要作用的顾问那里获得科学权威。将开发五个模块。什么是巨蟹座？在简短的动画中快速回答这个和其他相关问题，并为下一个模块准备更多好奇的访客。《实验室里的癌症》的特色是研究人员解释他们自己实验的动画序列，这些实验为在分子水平上理解癌症奠定了基础。《癌症起因与预防》生动描述了由烟草和饮食等致癌物引发的分子事件，并强调改变生活方式可以降低癌症风险。在《癌症诊断与治疗》中，参观者跟随医生进行癌症诊断，展示癌细胞变化与新治疗方案之间的联系。《癌症之路》带领参观者进行一次细胞及其信号传导途径的三维之旅，然后让他们看到突变的下游效应及其与癌症发展的关系。随着新的发现和治疗方法的发现，我们将更新模块以保持Inside Cancer的最新状态。

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.
