global advocacy

We join together with patients, caregivers and advocacy partners in their dedication to redefine living with cancer. 

 

Patricia F., living with glioblastoma

Novocure learns from patients, families, caregivers and their loved ones to understand and help build community for people diagnosed with aggressive cancers. Through meaningful partnerships with patient advocacy organizations, we live our patient-forward mission to prioritize patients in every decision and action. These organizations help people with cancer and their loved ones as they navigate a diagnosis and all that follows, through education, community building and other supportive services.

 

At Novocure, we are inspired by our patients and advocacy partners around the world in their dedication to redefine living with cancer. Each year, we participate in hundreds of events supporting cancer communities, and we collaborate with global, national and regional patient groups and professional organizations to address unique and communal patient needs. Through purposeful, action-oriented partnerships, we strive to address and advance health equity and inclusivity.
