It promotes cancer prevention through diet, including the 579 fruit and vegetable campaign, and has campaigned on HPV and lung cancer policy and on a multi-source fund to help patients pay for new cancer drugs. Its 2026 announcements include a subsidy programme for next-generation sequencing tests in advanced lung cancer, and its app offers online advice from dietitians, nurses and social workers. Its UICC profile describes free counselling, nutrition guidance and courses for cancer survivors and records full membership since 2003.","asOf":"2026-11-04","links":[{"label":"關於基金會 (about the foundation, Chinese)","url":"https://www.canceraway.org.tw/pagelist.php?keyid=18"},{"label":"UICC member profile","url":"https://www.uicc.org/membership/formosa-cancer-foundation"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":["lung-cancer"],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["uicc"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"Taipei","country":"TW","lat":25.052,"lng":121.56,"institutionType":"consortium","website":"https://www.canceraway.org.tw","programs":["Dietary cancer prevention (579 fruit and vegetable campaign)","NGS testing subsidy for advanced lung cancer (2026)","Online advice from dietitians, nurses and social workers","Survivor counselling and courses","Policy advocacy on HPV, lung cancer and new drug funding"]},"route":"/institutions/formosa-cancer-foundation/","neighbours":{"cancer":[{"id":"lung-cancer","kind":"cancer","name":"Lung cancer (all types)","route":"/cancers/lung-cancer/"}],"institution":[{"id":"uicc","kind":"institution","name":"Union for International Cancer Control","route":"/institutions/uicc/"}]}}
