ICAN - International Cancer Advocacy Network
Because of the economic downturn and the huge demand to enter ICAN's Programs, as of February 1, 2009, our Patient Programs are Waiting-List Only, and we unfortunately can no longer accept additional patients. Please help us be able to dig out of Total Overload in order to expand and take even more desperate Stage IV patients by securely donating to ICAN via this express link... Click here

Experience, Creativity, and Tenacity in the Patient's Battle Against Cancer with an Unrelenting Attention to the Details of Each Patient Case...
ICAN fights for the lives of late-stage cancer patients by helping to manage the complexities of their disease with cutting-edge information services, physician referrals (at the patient's request), and the most relevant resources to be found anywhere.
We have a solid track record of helping patients extend the most important metrics in cancer treatment efficacy: "Time to Progression," "Disease-Free Survival," and "Overall Survival."

with ICAN Patient Shari Baker,
discussing her breast cancer
clinical trial in Seattle in May, 2006
Shari Baker and Cathy Partin in January, 2009
The morning after the Ball, Cathy could not wait to call me and give me the organization's phone number. An IFADD Program Services staffer called me back immediately, and referred me to a leading breast oncologist for a second opinion. More than three years later, I am still in remission, thanks to a clinical trial. The Jewels of the Sea Ball was a bigger event than Cathy ever imagined. It just might have saved my life. ICAN reacted immediately, reassured me, and gave me hope and new strategic options. Thank you, ICAN!
