Los Angeles – Jan. 24, 2012

HH&S has connected many TV writers to experts from the CDC and other organizations on a variety of cancer-related topics. These consultations have resulted in television storylines dealing with lymphoma, leukemia, breast cancer, melanoma, brain tumors, and many more. HH&S-authored tip sheets for writers on breast and cervical cancer are available on the National Cancer Institute website at http://www.cancer.gov/newscenter/entertainment-overview, and additional HH&S tip sheets on cancer and other health topics are available from the CDC here: http://www.cdc.gov/healthcommunication/ToolsTemplates/EntertainmentEd/TipSheets.html
