How to use the NP search engine

Sarah Alexander

The NP search engine I have created can be used to find any info you may need on breast cancer. This will come in handy during the breast cancer unit. Some of the topics that can be searched include:

• Breast cancer diagnosis (diagnostic tools)

• General breast cancer info

• Treatments

• Symptoms

• Stories from survivors

This is a sample of what a results page looks like

Sites that will be searched:

• www.cdc.gov – Centers for Disease Control (and Prevention)

• www.breastcancerstories.org – Stories from survivors• www.webmd.com – Good site for checking symptoms,

diagnostic tools, etc.• www.cancer.gov - National Cancer Institute (National

Institute of Health)• www.breastcancer.org – Website for all things breast

cancer• www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov – National Center for

Biotechnology Information

I hope this resource will be of help to future students. To make your own custom search, go to http://www.google.com/cse/?hl=en (make sure you have a google account- it’s free)
