The National LGBT Cancer Project is America’s first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender cancer survivor support and advocacy nonprofit organization. We are committed to improving the health of LGBT cancer survivors with peer to peer support, patient navigation, education and advocacy.
The National LGBT Cancer Project waa originally called, “Out With Cancer.” Our volunteers include oncologists, social workers and psychologists. Many of us are cancer survivors or family members of cancer survivors. All of us are united in our fight against cancer and in support of equal and appropriate access to health care for our LGBT community.
Read patient focused articles about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people diagnosed with cancer, research references and resources for our national cancer survivor community. The National LGBT Cancer Project is the premier voice of LGBT cancer survivors in the United States.
