Sylvester comprehensive cancer center supports research and outreach in the cancer prevention, early detection, and survivorship. Such efforts primarily target culturally-diverse communities throughout South Florida, including those characterized by health disparity and lack of access to the formal healthcare system. Much of our work is grounded in the principles of stakeholder engagement, where patients, religious leaders, and community activists work collaboratively with our scientists and clinicians to ensure that our cancer control initiatives match community need.

‘You have cancer.’ More than 40,000 Flemish people are given this diagnosis every year. 1 in 4 women develop the disease before the age of 75. In men it is even 1 in 3. Fortunately, survival rates are up. This means increasingly more people live with the consequences of cancer. In Flanders more than a quarter of a million already. Kom op tegen Kanker (Stand up to Cancer), an independent ngo and non-profit organisation, plays a leading role in this and is the point of contact in the fight against cancer in Flanders and Brussels. Our dream? A world in which we no longer lose loved ones to cancer. But we're not there yet. We will fight until this dream becomes reality. How? By preventing and fighting cancer. But also by alleviating the effects of cancer and advocating a better cancer policy. To be able to do this, we mobilise as many people as possible to fight against cancer: as care volunteer, campaigner or donor.  Find out more about our organisation and how you can help on komoptegenkanker.be.
