Latinas Contra Cancer (LCC) was founded to address the void in culturally and linguistically sensitive programs that meet the health care needs of Latinos around issues of cancer.
Incorporated in California, based in Silicon Valley, LCC nonetheless works to link services nationwide. We provide cancer health education, patient navigation and psychosocial family support group services focused most specifically on the underserved and low income, Spanish speaking.
Our website includes a wealth of cancer resource and referral links for patients and health care providers as well as an on-line index of cancer education materials. We welcome input, collaboration and articles in English and Spanish related to cancer treatment, research and resources.
Finally we partner with institutions, researchers and cancer centers to engage the Latinos in community based participatory research in an effort to increase knowledge, treatment and care.
LCC is a 501c.3. Federal Tax ID 56-2412069
