The Cancer Resource page is a collaborative project of NeedyMeds and the American Cancer Society. It is intended to provide information on cancer and to streamline and simplify the way those with cancer may find assistance paying for their medications.
Over 1 million people get cancer each year, and many of these cancers are treatable. If you are diagnosed with cancer, the American Cancer Society can help you find the information and resources you need during your cancer experience. Call anytime at 1-800-227-2345, or visit www.cancer.org. |
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication.
The American Cancer Society and NeedyMeds neither promote nor endorse the therapies listed below nor the supporters of this page. This page is for educational purposes only. |
