Mission

The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) is a grassroots network working on behalf of people with all types of cancer.

NCCS provides information on employment and insurance issues, imperatives for quality of care, referrals to sources of information and support, publications on survivorship issues, and a voice for survivors before Congress and federal agencies.
