In Canada, 23 cancer cases are diagnosed every single day or 8,400 annually.

In Montreal, every 12 hours an adolescent or young is diagnosed with cancer. The most commonly diagnosed cancers among this group: thyroid, testicular, lymphoma, breast, melanoma, sarcoma and cervical.

Their lives are interrupted and far too frequently, adolescents and young adults with cancer are misdiagnosed or diagnosed late, leading to greater challenges and poorer outcomes.

VOBOC is a Montréal-based non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to equip, engage and empower Adolescents and Young Adults with cancer to improve their experiences and health outcomes.

VOBOC works with the hospital oncology teams to help empower these newly diagnosed young people by providing them with tools, resources and free diversions, and by connecting them with support services.
