Find a Cancer Patient Advocate
Cancer patient advocacy groups are a large, and important, component of the
fight against cancer. These groups have thousands of members and advocates
working to make a difference in the lives of millions by providing various
cancer related services and information to assist patients and caregivers in
their battle against cancer.
Many cancer advocacy groups are associate members of the Coalition of Cancer
Cooperative Groups, Inc. Most have a national presence, some have high-profile
activities and chapters across the country; others consist of one office with
grassroots efforts.
Below you will find a list of general cancer advocates as well as
ones that focus on a type of cancer. Whatever their focus, they share a common
goal: eliminating this dreaded disease called cancer.
