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.
