The technical words explained in The Cancer Dictionary also have a very simple pronunciation aid. The stressed syllables are in heavier type, while retaining the normal spelling, for example:
antigen [an-ti-gen]

Where a single word is pronounced as if it were two words, each with its stressed syllable, we show how it is split and where the stresses fall:
antiemetic [an-ti e-met-ic]
