The Cancer Information Service is the official public information website operated by Japan’s National Cancer Center. It provides reliable, evidence-based information to help people affected by cancer, their families, and the public understand cancer and make informed decisions. Its resources cover cancer types, symptoms, tests, standard treatments, clinical trials, prevention, and screening, as well as practical topics such as managing treatment effects, mental health, work, finances, and daily life.

Visitors can explore information by cancer name, body area, or life stage, including dedicated guidance for children, adolescents and young adults, and working-age people. The site also helps users find hospitals, regional cancer information, consultation and support centers, and services for rare cancers. Its materials include guides and booklets, personal experiences, audio and accessible resources, glossaries, and reports.

The Cancer Information Service also offers telephone consultation contacts and publishes cancer statistics, registry data, and information for healthcare professionals, including training and clinical resources. Its aim is to make dependable cancer information accessible to people across Japan
