Millions of Americans have been or will be diagnosed with cancer. While improved care and treatment options have the potential to save lives, the high costs associated with treatment can often lead to delays, financial struggles, and difficult healthcare decisions. Together, we can make a difference and positively impact the lives of cancer patients.
What We Believe
At PNKCTF, we believe everyone diagnosed with cancer should have access to quality care, regardless of financial status. We stand against adverse impacts from factors like insurance or income. Patients shouldn’t have to choose healthcare based on finances rather than what’s best for their health.

Who We Are
An estimated 10 million Americans alive today have faced a cancer diagnosis. Fortunately, advances in cancer care and treatment have dramatically improved survival rates and overall quality of life. That improvement is largely due to patients who are taking an active role in their cancer treatment. The next step is to find out how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and properly care for your entire body.
“Many patients focus on questions about their cancer treatment, so they often don’t think about other facets of their disease,” said Dr. G. David Roodman, Director of Myeloma Program, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute and Director of Bone Biology Center, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “One important consideration that is often overlooked is the impact of cancer on the bone, which may lead to fractures and can be debilitating.
We offer financial assistance to eligible cancer patients for medical expenses not covered by insurance, including copays, medication, equipment, and transportation. We also assist with other costs like rent, bills, wigs, prosthetics, etc. However, funding is limited, and applying doesn’t guarantee assistance.
