National Cancer Information Center
The National Cancer Information Center (NCIC) started providing cancer-related information services in June 2005.
It was designed to give the general public, cancer patients & their family members the most up-to-date, evidence-
based information on cancer and practical advice on how to relieve themselves of fears and uncertainties related
with cancer. The NCIC carries out its functions mainly through a call center (1577-8899), web site
(www.cancer.go.kr), and publications.
The NCIC website currently records more than 40,000 hits per month. The web portal services include common
cancer information, FAQ, national cancer statistics, various kinds of educational materials and medical vocabulary
services.
Preparing the publication of the booklets and leaflets on every aspect of cancer, The NCIC plans to support health
professionals by offering them the most-up-to-date information on cancer research.
