“Over Cancer Together” was started following Japan’s selection as the third country for the implementation of a grass roots patient empowerment support campaign, which is being supported by the American Cancer Society and the LIVESTRONG Foundation. Numerous groups and organizations have responded to this opportunity and are collaborating with us.

The campaign aims to raise public awareness that cancer patients’ voice can change the society and it makes a collaborative effort to gather support from many organizations or individuals in order to open a forum that share voice of “cancer survivors”.

The official website is now open and it introduces voice of cancer survivors by video clips or text.

Now the movement has spread across the patients and medical practitioners, as grassroots movement and there are many ways individuals can get involved in the process. We are looking for your sincere support.

*In this campaign, we refer cancer patients, previous patients of cancer, bereaved family/family members, care taker and friends as “cancer survivors”.
