Abstract ADV20: For constructing an open society to cancer recognition.

Abstract

Our mission: Getting a better understanding of cancer survivorship in Japan.

Our vision: Constructing an open society to cancer recognition.

HOPE Project started as a campaign of survivorship in Japan. We target cancer survivors including child cancer their and families. We have approximately 100 members.

Cancer patients face three kinds of problems; physical, emotional and social situations. In Japan, cancer survivors have to go through many misunderstandings and prejudices.

HOPE Project focuses on these issues and problems cancer survivors face that are difficult to solve in Japan.
