NCCN Joins the Global Plea for Peace in Ukraine and Recognizes the Profound Impact to Cancer Care

As an organization whose mission is to improve cancer care globally, NCCN stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. We are among the many organizations moved to do whatever we can to help provide support for people impacted by the invasion in Ukraine and the worsening humanitarian crisis it is causing in the region. Building on our longstanding work and ongoing partnerships in Central and Eastern Europe, our outreach is focused on essential healthcare assistance. NCCN is committed to providing support in the short and long-term, with the conflict profoundly affecting the healthcare systems, providers, and patients in the region.

NCCN Resources for Patients with Cancer in Ukraine and Surrounding Region

 

NCCN Guidelines for Patients®

Resources that help people with cancer talk with their doctors about the best treatment options for their disease. These translations of NCCN Guidelines for Patients are meant to help people with cancer and their caregivers, especially those seeking refuge in other countries and facing interruptions in care during the current crisis, communicate with doctors and those providing support services. Providers serving people who speak Ukrainian can also use these to assist in communicating about cancer care. Patient Guidelines and translations are also available via a free app.
