Fighting alongside you, for you

Cancer affects almost all of us at some point in our lives. Half of men and one-third of women will get cancer during their lifetimes.1 Others may support a loved one fighting the disease. The hopeful news is that about 44% of cancers are preventable.2

Kaiser Permanente is committed to being a leader in cancer prevention and screenings. For example, human papillomavirus (HPV)–related cancers, such as cervical cancer, account for several common cancer types worldwide. Kaiser Permanente has cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination rates that are in the top 5% nationwide.3  We also have 2 of the top 6 highest-performing commercial plans in the nation for breast cancer screening.4 Our members are 20% less likely to die early from cancer compared to nonmembers in the same communities.5

From detection to recovery, Kaiser Permanente doctors, nurses, and specialists work together to give you high-quality care. No matter where you are on your care journey, we’ll be there to support all that is you.

Join a community ready to fight cancer and thrive.

You will be the first to know when our yearly, no-cost virtual event is open for registration. It’s a chance to learn about our total health approach to preventing and treating cancer. We hope everyone affected by cancer will unit. Join the community today and continue fighting.

Kaiser Permanente Research Bank

The Kaiser Permanente Research Bank helps researchers understand many health conditions, including cancer. Volunteers can share their health information and blood samples. These samples help us learn about genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors that contribute to disease.

Kaiser Permanente cancer research and clinical trials

Our researchers are dedicated to understanding cancer risks and improving treatments. Their work can help with clinical results for cancer patients. We also share our research to help create new treatments and industry rules. That means our members get care based on the latest research.
