In Russia the main problem encountered by cancer patients and their families is the near-total lack of information about cancer, treatment methods and possible resources for help. Outdated notions about cancer only heighten the fears of cancer patients and deprive them of their right to make reasonable choices. We believe that reliable and truthful information is one of the main tools in the fight against cancer. All the lectures are taped and used by our clients as information resources Group therapy meetings are conducted, where cancer patients are counseled by medical experts, nutritionists, health professionals, etc. We also publish booklets and brochures about cancer.
All information is provided free of charge.
The information program is carried out with the active participation of experts from leading Russian oncology centers and clinics.

It helps them adjust to a new reality and return as soon and as much as possible to a normal, active and valuable life. This program helps women with breast cancer. The philosophy and principles of hospices and palliative medicine are only starting to be known and accepted in Russia.
