National LGBT Cancer Network: Home
The LGBT Cancer Project is now the
National LGBT Cancer Network.
When The LGBT Cancer Project was launched in September of 2007, we never anticipated the magnitude of the positive response we would receive from both professionals and survivors across the country. It's clear now that we need a new name that better reflects the national scope of our collaborative work.
The National LGBT Cancer Network is the first program in the country to address the needs of all LGBT people with cancer and those at risk.
The National LGBT Cancer Network works to improve the lives of LGBT cancer survivors and those at risk by:
- Educating LGBT people and health providers about the cancer risks and survivor experiences of gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people.
- Increasing awareness of LGBT cancer risks and survivor experiences via the internet and other media.
- Advocating for high quality research on LGBT cancer risks, treatment and survivorship.
- Giving voice to LGBT cancer survivors through participation on the Boards of local and national cancer organizations.
- Offering consultation to doctor's offices, cancer screening and treatment centers, social service organizations and website managers on inclusion of LGBT people in both their outreach and services.
