Gut cancer is the term for cancers of the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas and bowel. Each year, over 5,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with a gut cancer and half of these people will die within five years of diagnosis. It is collectively the most common form of cancer in New Zealand, yet is rarely spoken of.
Gut Cancer Foundation is committed to delivering an everlasting impact and positive change for all New Zealanders affected by gut cancers. With help from our communities and international networks we can fund expert research, education and increase awareness to help our loved ones live their lives free of life-threatening gut cancers.
Our mission is to be the voice for all cancers of the digestive system, improving survival rates, quality of life and reducing the number of New Zealanders diagnosed with this group of cancers.
We are motivated to give New Zealanders with gut cancers access to new treatments sooner and constantly support researchers to discover better ways to detect, diagnose and treat gut cancers. We want to ensure the causes and symptoms of gut cancers are better understood.
Together we can support the brightest minds to accelerate the research, contribute to global advancements, educate and increase awareness, so we can make a profound and positive impact on the lives of those impacted by or at risk of gut cancers.
