In order to deliver optimal treatment to cancer patients, clinicians need to have a comprehensive understanding of contemporary literature, key evidence, administration principles, and internationally acceptable standards. Accessing this information at the point-of-care is often challenging, particularly in rural and remote areas.

In 2005 the Cancer Institute NSW, under Program 13 of the NSW Cancer Plan 2004-2006 activated a web-based application that provides comprehensive information about cancer treatment protocols, including indications, key evidence, dose modifications, comparative efficacy and toxicity, step-by-step administration principles, potential side effects, relevant clinical guidelines, patient information sheets, and much more.
