Kinderkrebs Schweiz

The Childhood Cancer Switzerland Information Platform is a resource for people affected by childhood and adolescent cancer, as well as their families and wider communities. Created by Childhood Cancer Switzerland, the platform provides reliable information and practical guidance during diagnosis, treatment, the return to everyday life, and the years beyond treatment. Its resources also support survivors, parents, siblings, teachers, employers, and others seeking to understand childhood cancer.

Visitors can explore explanations of cancer types, diagnostic procedures, treatments, rehabilitation, recurrence, palliative care, follow-up care, and possible late effects. The platform also addresses the emotional, social, educational, and financial challenges families may face, with guidance on communication, school arrangements, sibling support, self-care, social counselling, and insurance. It connects users with support services and offers from Childhood Cancer Switzerland and its member organisations, including psycho-oncological support and help from parents for parents. News, personal stories, a cancer dictionary, and an events agenda provide further insight and encouragement. Overall, the platform aims to inform, guide, and strengthen people living with and beyond childhood cancer.
