About
Breast Cancer Watch
Mission
Breast
Cancer Watch,
was developed and compiled by Constantine Kaniklidis*,
a medical researcher, and editor of EBM (evidence-based medicine) for
Open Project Directory (DMOZ), as a service both to the lay health and
to the professional medicine communities.
The essential mission of Breast
Cancer Watch is provide
the latest best practice evidence-based resources in current medicine
and CAM (complimentary and alternative medicine) therapies across a
broad range of conditions; new conditions and topics are added regularly,
and all resources and links are updated aggressively on at least a weekly,
often daily basis.
Our standards allow only science-based research
and findings on medical conditions and their treatment, both within
traditional medicine and that of evidence-based CAM. Wherever possible
we present the latest EBM (evidence-based medicine) results of RCTs
(randomized controlled trials) and critical meta-analyses from the peer-reviewed
literature, along with best practice resources to guide medical practitioners
and clinicians.
