The National Cancer Institute's computerized information systems have been designed to help physicians cope with the information explosion by translating the medical literature into usable forms. Systems developed by the NCI's International Cancer Information Center provide access to a comprehensive source of bibliographic citations on cancer research (the CANCERLIT database) and to current, peer-reviewed syntheses of state-of-the-art clinical information on cancer (the PDQ database). This article describes how the PDQ databases were developed and are kept up-to-date, and how physicians and other health professionals can access PDQ and other NCI information by computer and fax.
美国国立癌症研究所的计算机信息系统旨在通过将医学文献转化为可用形式，帮助医生应对信息爆炸问题。由国立癌症研究所国际癌症信息中心开发的系统可提供对癌症研究文献引用的全面来源（癌症文献数据库）以及关于癌症的最新、经过同行评审的临床信息综合资料（医师数据查询数据库）的访问。本文描述了医师数据查询数据库是如何开发和保持更新的，以及医生和其他卫生专业人员如何通过计算机和传真访问医师数据查询数据库及国立癌症研究所的其他信息。
