A project focused on conducting a detailed qualitative and economic analysis of cancer diagnosis in Poland, in collaboration with pathologists and molecular biologists, to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

The Oncology Grant Fund (ONKOgrants) is aimed at institutions engaged in public education and interested in improving the Polish cancer control system.
The main goal of the project is to stimulate and support initiatives proposed by non-governmental organizations, schools, research institutions, academic teams, and enterprises registered in Poland. Our support is provided in the form of grants awarded through open competitions.

The main objective of this project was to raise awareness among healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, midwives), patients, and their families about the possibilities of preserving fertility during cancer therapy and methods of assisted reproduction after treatment.
In cooperation with the Polish Society of Reproductive Medicine and Embryology and other NGOs, we organize lectures and webinars for the above groups, prepare and distribute printed educational materials, posters, and leaflets to oncology centers, and publish lectures by our specialists online.
In 2022, five webinars for patients, nurses, and physicians were held as part of this project.

An educational campaign conducted in September 2020 and directed at everyone potentially at risk of cancer. Its goal was to raise awareness of early warning signs of the most common cancers, encourage people not to ignore them, overcome fears associated with COVID-19 infection, and motivate individuals to contact a physician as soon as possible to either rule out cancer or, if diagnosed, start appropriate treatment promptly.

This book, prepared by experienced doctors and psychologists, is intended for cancer patients and survivors. It responds to the most common questions asked by patients and provides practical information on cancer types, treatment options, patient rights, nutrition, pain relief, fatigue, sleep problems, and coping with symptoms related to therapy.

The brochure http://12sposobownazdrowie.pl is the Polish and Ukrainian translation of the 4th edition of the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC). The European Commission initiative, developed by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), aims to provide information on actions people can take to reduce their risk of cancer, whether for themselves or their families.

This book, written in a light and humorously illustrated style, offers practical advice on healthy living. Topics include proper nutrition, physical activity, avoiding addictions and environmental health hazards, personal hygiene, responsible sexual behavior, building positive relationships with others and with healthcare providers, managing stress, and ensuring rest and good sleep.

An educational website offering up-to-date and reliable information on alternative, unconventional, and complementary therapies that cancer patients often use as an addition to—or instead of—evidence-based treatments.
The published materials are sourced from the online service of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), made available to the Foundation. Another service made available to the Foundation come from the Norwegian organization CAM Cancer (https://cam-cancer.org/. In addition, our experts have prepared information about several methods not included in the NCI database and CAM Cancer but commonly used by Polish patients.
