Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose BeatCancer.org over all the options out there?
For over 40 years, BeatCancer.org has been raising money for education — not just additional research. Our prevention programs focus on true prevention not just early detection. The programs we’ve designed for diagnosed patients focus on building up the patient rather than destroying the tumor.
