Korean Cancer Association's Homepage Revamp...One-stop support platform for cancer patients and families
Sep 30, 2025
The Korean Cancer Association (Chairman Lee Min-hyuk) has completely reorganized its official website so that cancer patients and their families can find the information they need more quickly and apply for support. With this reorganization, the campaign, support, and education information of 'Ambibious Campaign Season 2' with the Yuhan Foundation were organized at a glance, and the window for patient and family participation was greatly expanded.
The reorganization of the website is designed to allow patients and their families to check the information on the association's campaign and support projects at a glance and apply immediately. On the main screen, photos of the association's activities were placed around the message 'So that cancer can be a new beginning, not an end' to emphasize positive messages, and major menus such as campaigns, support, education, and research were simplified to increase readability.
The '癌 (癌) mesenchymal campaign' is a representative campaign of the Korean Cancer Association to combat cancer that has been going on since the 2000s, and was started to solve the psychological and economic difficulties faced by cancer patients and to improve the treatment environment. Season 2, which is underway this year, has expanded from patient-centered support to an integrated support program that encompasses families. In 2025, it is promoting medical expenses for preserving childbearing capacity, economic support for families in crisis, and support for treatment after lung cancer surgery with the Yuhan Foundation.
The 「Cancer Patient Pregnancy Preservation Support Program」 implemented in June is a project that provided up to 3 million won in treatment costs to breast cancer patients who are concerned about deteriorating fertility due to cancer treatment. The purpose is to help prepare for pregnancy after treatment by reducing the large non-benefit costs incurred in the process of collecting and preserving eggs before the start of chemotherapy. We received positive feedback from many patients, such as "The possibility of having a child was the greatest comfort." We are currently preparing a follow-up project to further support permanent infertility expected eggs and sperm freezing support projects promoted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Then, from October, a new customized support project for young lung cancer patients will begin. Up to 3 million won will be provided for surgery and chemotherapy and related medical expenses so that lung cancer surgery patients in their 20s and 40s can continue their treatment, and applications will be available on the association's website from October 1 to December 31. In addition, it will sign a business agreement with the Fire Department and the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs to provide medical expenses to cancer patients of former and current firefighters who have devoted themselves to public safety and cancer patients of bereaved families of independence fighters.
Support for living will also be strengthened. It plans to provide coupons for cleaning, cleaning, and disinfection services to patients who have difficulty caring for households due to chemotherapy or surgery to create an environment where patients can focus only on treatment and reduce the burden of caring for their families. To this end, the association signed a business agreement ceremony with the Home Cleaning Platform Cleaning Research Institute in August. The household support service will be conducted through screening and selection when the reason for application (300 or more) is written after signing up for membership on the association's website.
Lee Min-hyuk, chairman of the Korea Cancer Association, said "The association knows better than anyone else the pain and difficulties that cancer patients and their families face. The reorganization of the website makes it easier for patients and their families to meet the support they need faster and more easily. "We will continue to provide practical assistance to patients and their families by reducing the economic and psychological burden during the treatment process."."
On the other hand, details on the Korean Cancer Association's '癌 heavy hair campaign season 2' and the reorganized website can be found on the official website of the Korean Cancer Association.
