Louisiana Cancer Foundation

The mission of the Louisiana Cancer Foundation is to promote quality-of-life for cancer patients and family members while also providing the citizens of Louisiana with accurate and up-to-date information on prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. The Louisiana Cancer Foundation was founded in 1999 by the Northeast Louisiana Cancer Institute for the purpose of increasing public awareness, early detection, treatment, and research for cancer in our state.
