The magazine of the German Cancer Aid is the official magazine of the aid organization against cancer with the aim of "fighting cancer in all its manifestations".

history
The magazine was founded as the first important information and dialogue platform of the German Cancer Aid in order to regularly reach the supporters and those affected nationwide with information and specialist articles on topics of oncology. The magazine appears from the beginning without commercial advertisements in order to be independent of commercial interests. The German Cancer Aid has financed its activities exclusively from donations. It does not receive any public funding.
