This research guide is not intended to be a comprehensive collection of consumer/patient health sites on the Internet but is intended as a starting point for research.

This guide offers information on University of Tennessee's Cancer Institute, its services, and general health information related to cancer. While our Health Information Center is not able to provide medical advice, we are happy to help patrons explore health topics relevant to their needs.
Maybe you or a loved one has been recently diagnosed and you're interested in learning more about the diagnosis. Maybe you are in search of health maintenance, prevention, or therapy options for an already diagnosed condition, or maybe you're just plain curious. Whatever health information you're searching for, we are here to offer our support and research expertise. There is an overwhelming amount of health information available online, and sometimes it's hard to distinguish trustworthy sources. Let us help.
The Health Information Center maintains a public library, curated by our staff of medical librarians, with books about a variety of topics, including health information and leisure reading. To check out books, you must fill out a library membership form. Membership is free and may be completed in person with a photo ID.
We also offer free health information research requests. We can tailor our research to your specific questions and needs, and then send you the information. You can fill out a Health Information Request here.
Stop inside our Health Information Center to check out our book collection or put in a Health Information Request.
