cancer advocacy

Cancer advocacy involves supporting and promoting awareness, research, and policy changes to improve prevention, treatment, and patient care. Advocates work to ensure that individuals affected by cancer have access to resources, information, and effective healthcare. They also lobby for funding and policy reforms, influence legislation, and raise public understanding about cancer risks and screenings. The goal is to empower patients, reduce barriers to care, and accelerate advances in cancer research to ultimately improve outcomes and quality of life for those impacted by the disease.
