International Cancer Advocacy Network ("ICAN")

The International Cancer Advocacy Network ("ICAN") is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. On February 14, 2011, we celebrated our 14th year in cancer patient advocacy. We have been both at the vanguard of personalized medicine in terms of patient advocacy and in the trenches, working to extend lives with high quality of life. ICAN provides cutting-edge information services to Stage IV cancer patients in all cancer types and subtypes as well as patient empowerment tools, physician referrals upon request, and new strategic options for the patient to discuss with his or her medical team. ICAN focuses on detailed case management services based on molecular profiling and outlines clinical trials enrollment possibilities, with an emphasis on targeted therapeutics relevant to each case. Please see our Home Page at www.askican.org for a complete description of ICAN's Patient Program Services as well as the list of 80 Named Programs, named by grateful patients and their families. ICAN operates according to the highest standards of board governance, with a small staff and 700 volunteers in 7 time zones working on a variety of projects for the organization.
