Your employees’ proactive partner in cancer care

In detecting, diagnosing, and treating cancer, your employees need proactive care, not passive navigation.

With more diagnoses, younger diagnoses, and more cancer survivors, managing the burden of cancer requires a new approach.

~1M working-age individuals

will be diagnosed with cancer in 2024.

45%
of diagnoses

could have been prevented or caught sooner.

1 in 2 cancer survivors

live with multiple chronic conditions as a result of their treatment.

Proactive and earlier interventions matter at every stage — detection, diagnosis and treatment, and survivorship.
