How This Can Help You

CANCER: Increasing Your Odds for Survival is a documentary, resource guide, and website designed specifically to help people survive all forms of cancer.

Cancer patients face a world of frightening, difficult-to-understand information and an overwhelming array of confusing therapies and choices. Cancer authorities and survivors agree that information is critical to survival. However, with so little time, and under so much stress, cancer patients find it nearly impossible to acquire this vital information and rarely have a comprehensive resource they can rely on to begin their healing journey.

To help address this critical need, a television series, hosted by Walter Cronkite, was designed to provide an overview of all major topics that can help people survive cancer.
