U-M Cancer Center Has a Second Web "Front Door"
The U-M Cancer Center website has a new “front" door,” www.mcancer.org. Entering this URL links one directly to the Cancer Center’s home page www.cancer.med.umich.edu. This new URL will be used for consumer-directed advertising, radio and print ads, outdoor billboards and posters. The goal is to provide a brief and memorable address directed to the Cancer Center home page. When directing visitors to a specific spot within the Cancer Center site, do not reference www.mcancer.org, but instead provide the entire address required. (For example, www.cancer.med.umich.edu/lung.htm directs visitors to information on the National Lung Screening Trial.) For more information contact szalewsk@umich.edu.
