About Know Cancer

Know Cancer is dedicated to connecting, educating and empowering all people affected by the many forms of cancer. Through the power of knowledge and collective wisdom we will help people to prevent, endure and survive cancer. Our current focus is KnowCancer.com, an online community that provides social and professional support to patients and their loved ones. The website contains three main sections:

■Education: a comprehensive library of cancer-related content;
■Community: a social network, featuring the Know Cancer blog, the Cancer Support Forum and an “ask the expert” section;
■Resources: the largest directory of cancer-related businesses, facilities and organizations on the internet.

The overall purpose of KnowCancer.com is to create an environment where the members of the global cancer community—including cancer patients, their loved ones and everyone else fighting for a world without cancer—can learn together, interact and ultimately find the information, support and resources they need to overcome their illness.
