Objectives

The HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation is dedicated to empowering anal cancer patients and accelerating prevention and treatment methods that eliminate anal cancer and the virus that causes the majority of cases, HPV.

Specifically, The HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation’s mission is to:

  • Highlight the relevance of human papillomavirus (HPV) in contracting cancer
  • Accelerate a cure for the 5% of all cancers that are caused by HPV, with a focus on anal cancer
  • Advocate for prevention methods that will end anal cancer and HPV-related cancers, including gender neutral vaccination
  • Provide support for survivors, caregivers, scientists and providers connected to anal cancer

 

 

Activities

Since the Foundation’s inception we have dedicated ourselves to improving the lives of anal cancer thrivers, supporting and funding research for anal cancer as well as HPV-related cancers, creating a collaborative space for clinicians to share knowledge and ideas, and moving the pendulum forward in increasing vaccination rates for girls and boys. We continue to work with leaders in the field to not only eradicate HPV-related cancers for future generations, but to eliminate research and scientific silos and bring improved and novel treatments to those diagnosed with anal cancer.
