The National Cancer Institute has a Cancer Models Database available for use. A Cancer Images Database is also available. The caMOD database allows one to: 1. Search Models - Query the Cancer Models database for models submitted by fellow researchers. Retrieve information about the making of models, their genetic description, histopathology, derived cell lines, associated images, carcinogenic agents, and therapeutic trials. Links to associated publications and other resources are provided. 2. Submit Models - Submit your model for human cancer. Animal models recapitulate many aspects of the genesis, progression, and clinical course of human cancers and are valuable resources to cancer researchers engaged in a variety of investigations.
