We help patients
The Anticancer Fund has a big heart for cancer patients. Discover My Cancer Navigator,
our personalised service providing clear information about cancer and treatment options,
for patients and their loved ones.
My Cancer Navigator helps you to find your way
Have you received a cancer diagnosis?
Or are you facing an important decision in your cancer treatment? It is overwhelming, and you probably get a lot of information, which may be difficult to understand or even conflicting.
Do you want reliable answers to your questions?
We can cut through the confusion, offer clarity on your options, treatment guidelines, and the latest developments in cancer therapies.
We listen to your story.
We research the scientific information, and provide you with personalised answers, so that you can make well-considered decisions together with your treatment team.
How My Cancer Navigator works
Contact us
Reach out through email, phone or the contact button here below. Someone can also contact us on your behalf with your permission.
We’ll get in touch
You will have an initial call with one of our physicians to discuss your concerns and questions. When the question is very specific and does not require a review of your medical records, we may answer it directly via mail, with the option of having a call later if you wish.
Thorough research
To find the answers to your questions, our team of scientists and doctors reviews your medical records and conducts the necessary research using international guidelines, scientific publications, and clinical trial database.
Personalised answers
You will receive a personalised and understandable summary, which our physician will discuss in a (video) call with you to ensure that everything is clear.
Your personal guide through cancer
My Cancer Navigator answers therapy-related questions from patients and their families, free of charge.
This service also supports physicians and healthcare professionals seeking evidence-based information about cancer treatments for a specific patient.
My Cancer Navigator is financially supported by Belgian bank-insurer Belfius. It's important to note that individual patient data are NOT shared with Belfius.

What we do NOT offer
A "second opinion" or medical advice: we do not take over your treatment, and do not prescribe medication.
Insurance expertise, home care, and psychosocial support. However, we will of course do our best to refer you to the appropriate organisations.
Funding for treatment, but we can explore options for access to relevant therapies.
Disclaimer
We help patients, only at their explicit request, with the protection of their private data, in their search for information, with the aim of better understanding the disease and treatment options, so that each individual patient can make informed decisions together with his or her doctor.
We work independently, without (preliminary) judgment, based on publicly available scientific data.
