 WOMEN’S CANCER NETWORK (WCN)

 

 

The mission of the Women's Cancer Network is to keep women informed and to enable them to be their own health advocates. The Women's Cancer Network was developed by The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF). The WCN is an interactive web site dedicated to informing women around the world about gynecologic cancer. Our goal is to assist women who have developed cancer, as well as their families, to understand more about the disease, learn about treatment options, and gain access to new or experimental therapies.

 “CANCER SCHMANCER” MOVEMENT
   
“Cancer Schmancer” was established in 2007 by Fran Drescher, “Miss Fine” on television’s The Nanny, a show she created and produced.  Surviving uterine cancer herself, she has become a powerful advocate for galvanizing women to alert their elected officials that the women’s vote is very powerful. “Cancer Schmancer” is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that all women's cancers are diagnosed while in STAGE 1, when it's most curable.

The “Cancer Schmancer” Movement was instrumental in getting the Gynecologic Cancer Education and Awareness Act passed into law by unanimous consent in the 109th U.S. Congress.
