Championing Integrated Quality Cancer Care
Philippine College of Surgeons Cancer Commission Foundation (PCS CANCOM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Filipinos on their cancer journeys and fostering a path toward better quality of life and survivorship. Since 2019, we have been bridging gaps in cancer care across the Philippines through training, partnerships, research, and patient empowerment.
We are an active partner in implementing the National Integrated Cancer Control Act (NICCA Law, RA 11215), helping ensure that every Filipino has access to equitable, person-centered, and quality cancer care.
The Challenge We Face
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the Philippines. Yet access to timely diagnosis, quality treatment, and coordinated support remains uneven.
We believe every Filipino deserves equitable, person-centered, and quality cancer care.
How We Make a Difference
We focus on solutions that change lives:
Capacity Building – Training health professionals and institutions nationwide.
Patient & Community Empowerment – Creating resources for families and frontline health workers.
Research & Innovation – Generating local evidence to shape better cancer policies.
Partnerships & Advocacy – Building a united movement for stronger cancer care systems.

World Mental Health Day | October 10
Cancer does not only affect the body — it also takes a heavy toll on the mind and spirit.
This World Mental Health Day, we stand with every patient, survivor, caregiver, and family member facing the invisible battles that cancer brings.
🧠 Mental health is cancer care.
Healing means providing support not just for the illness, but for the whole person. Compassion, counseling, and community make a difference.
Together, let us break the stigma, open conversations, and ensure that no one fights cancer — or its emotional weight — alone. 💜
