Everyone on the National Cancer Policy Board says they were shocked at how little information there is out there to help cancer patients.
So it is recommending a national system to assess the quality of cancer care.
Part of the problem is there are about 100 different kinds of cancer in all.
Each disease requires a different solution.
The report also says there needs to be better ways to make sure doctors implement the latest cancer guidelines.

A group of postmenopausal women were given estrogen pills and others received placebos.
Tests showed those taking the estrogen performed as if they were

These women had changes in their brain memory circuits that were visible on M-R-I scans.
If these initial results hold up under repeated testing, then eventually estrogen will be tested to see if it could improve memory.
