AM Kamat, MD:

The Bladder Cancer WebCafé , meticulously managed by Wendy Sheridan, is a 'one-stop' site for patients and caregivers who have questions about living with bladder cancer. It is logically organized, easy to navigate, and, most importantly, is 'fact-checked' with the assistance of physicians and experts in the field. It is not a surprise then, that the National Cancer Institute referenced Bladder Cancer WebCafé in their 'Facing Forward' Series.

Donald Lamm, MD:

As you know, bladder cancer is a common malignancy that affects millions around the world. It also takes a major toll, not only in live lost, but also in the morbidity of major surgery, body image change, and impaired sexual function. Despite the importance of bladder cancer, it is relatively unknown. Major political and entertainment figures have become advocates for causes such as breast and prostate cancer, but none have come forward for bladder cancer. Support groups, foundations supporting research and education, and advocacy for bladder cancer is lagging far behind. One exception is Bladder Cancer WebCafé. For many years now this website has been a source of support and education for bladder cancer patients. Advances are made available and translated from medical to lay terminology for the general public. It even serves as a resource for physicians because the information is timely and up to date.

Michael O'Donnell, MD:

The Bladder Cancer Web Café is simply the best single site on the World Wide Web for patients with bladder cancer to find information about their disease and treatments. It is packed with useful and up-to-date information presented in an objective and non-biased manner. It also provides an interactive (or passive) forum from which to learn how other patients with similar problems are coping with their disease. Multiple web links abound to all major private and public sites providing complementary bladder cancer information such as the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute. I personally recommend this website to all my patients with bladder cancer.
