Can we reduce our risk of cancer?

YES, AND we can do it together

LGBTQ+ communities experience higher cancer risk due to factors such as lower screening rates and higher rates of smoking and alcohol use. The good news is that screening and prevention make a real difference.

CAN WE is an ACON initiative helping LGBTQ+ people access inclusive cancer screening, prevention information and support.

Explore our campaigns below to find clear next steps to stay healthy.
