The Abdominal Cancers Alliance is a program of Partners for Cancer Care and Prevention,
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
OUR MISSION
To improve the quality of life and length of life for abdominal cancer patients by making connections to resources and care, providing education to the public and care providers, and guiding patient and caregiver navigation throughout the cancer journey.
We are the patient- and caregiver-focused central hub for education and connections to resources about peritoneal surface malignancies, including advanced gastrointestinal and gynecologic cancers, and the lifesaving Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) treatment option.
We have assembled a network of people and organizations that make better treatment a reality, improving the outcomes for patients and families of those with a variety of intra-abdominal malignancies in advanced stages.

Professional Affiliations
We are building a body of professionals to advocate and provide expert advice and guidance for the benefit of patients and caregivers facing abdominal cancers. These are leaders in oncology, experienced care providers, and professionals across the healthcare industry.
As we embark with the Abdominal Cancers Alliance, we have assembled a core group medical and surgical oncologists at leading medical centers around the United States. Together, we are working to:
-
Help patients reach care providers earlier and be more informed.
-
Create a network of patients, caregivers, and allies to support the need for holistic care.
-
Ensure that patient- and caregiver-oriented resources represent the most accurate and latest information available.
Most importantly, we are building this network to save more lives!
Together we are part of the solution!

The Abdominal Cancers Alliance is a program of Partners for Cancer Care and Prevention (PFCCAP).
PFCCAP's mission is simple: We work to save lives and improve the quality of life for cancer patients through early diagnosis and timely referral to appropriate treatment. This mission was the genesis of our work to mitigate the obstacles women face in their breast and cervical cancer journeys in Colombia, and it holds firm in our commitment to serve patients and caregivers facing rare and advanced abdominal cancers. The organization built on its long trajectory of international successes to launch the Abdominal Cancers Alliance.
We envision a world where lives are saved because all people have access to the resources needed for the prevention, early diagnosis, and proper treatment of cancer.
Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2011, Partners for Cancer Care and Prevention is an independent charitable entity.
