Caregivers are a much under-served population truly doing ‘Gods work’.
This group supports caregivers of those living with Stage 3 or Stage 4 cancer of any type, and we continue to provide support if and when they are bereaved.
If you are a caregiver of a Stage 1 or 2 patient, please drop us a line at info@ancan.org for referrals to other sources of support.
We are proud to partner with SHAPE Partners in our efforts to provide the best support we can for caregivers. In their own words, SHAPE Partners understands:
When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, it can disrupt your life. As you support your loved one, you silently and independently deal with your own feelings, thoughts and fears. SHAPE Partners is here to support you during your caregiver journey. Our mission is to empower current and former cancer caregivers, family members and friends to optimize their mental and physical health through Partnerships, Advocacy, Coaching and Education.

All of our groups are FREE…
and you can drop in at any time!

Webinar: Radionuclide Diagnostics & Theranostics – Theory and Clinical Practice Meet!
Nuclear payloads, guided missiles, directed assassinations…not in global conflict or wars, but prostate cancer and what happens inside bodies of men getting radionuclide theranostics (treatment) and diagnostics (scanning) today.
Radionuclide treatment for prostate cancer is at least 10 years old – does that surprise you? Bayer’s Xofigo was approved in 2013 but adoption has been slow until recent FDA approvals of theranostics (treatment) viz. Pluvicto, and diagnostics (scans) like Illucix and Posluma.
Radionuclides are theory-intense with nuclear medicine doctors less exposed to treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Conversely, GU medical oncologists are less familiar with radionuclides than hormone and chemo-therapy.
Two global experts, GU medical oncologist Dr. Oliver Sartor and nuclear medicine guru, Dr. Philip Kuo will introduce radionuclide theranostics and diagnostics and discuss how the clinic and the theory intersect.
