Articles

To further our goal of providing information on various aspects of the cancer experience, we are posting articles written by leading medical professionals, non-profits and advocates. We encourage you to read them, as they will provide various perspectives on a wide range of topics.

To access an article click on one of two categories:

• Written by Medical Professionals


• Written by Advocate Organizations or Individual Advocates

Our Invitation to Medical Professional, Advocates and Non-Profit Organizations:

Please accept our invitation to submit an article for posting in this section of the website.

We also focus on educating cancer patients and their families about research and how that relates to them.

As an Organization we believe and formalize in our Mission Statement that one of our goals is to collaborate with all stakeholders.

We believe that our website will have more depth and breadth if we can showcase the tremendous work that medical professionals, other non-profits and advocates across the country are engaged in.

Article Category Structure:

• By Organization: We hope to provide both patients and organizations with a network to find each other. We recognize that patients may find you through other more direct paths. We also know that because our format allows you to post both pictures and information about your work, we may provide a path for those patients who move quickly from one site to another and may have overlooked your work.

Your article will be listed under your organizations name. A picture may also be submitted.
