Our Mission

North Bay Cancer Alliance is committed to helping people in our community cope with both the risk and the reality of cancer by increasing local access to clinical research, providing information and resources related to the prevention and early detection of cancer and by developing programs and collaborations to help the underserved to receive the care they need.

Few words have more power to concentrate the mind. Despite enormous strides in detection and treatment over the past 25 years, “cancer” still causes us to stop and pay close attention. That’s as it should be because it will take focus, energy and resources to prevent, treat and cure this potentially deadly disease.

Cancer is a global problem, but it affects the world locally…
One Person at a Time...

North Bay Cancer Alliance has been created to help the people in our community cope with both the risk and the reality of cancer by increasing local access to clinical research, education and cancer care. More :::




"I had no idea that being Ashkenazi Jewish had anything to do with the cancers in my family. My younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer (at 38) a year ago and the possibility of a BRCA gene mutation was not brought up. We both have daughters so this is very important information for our family. Thank you."

"My family has a lot of cancer so I always thought I inherited something. Now I understand that most cancer is not inherited and that I can do things to lessen my risk."



The North Bay Cancer Alliance (NBCA) was founded in 2005 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Sonoma County, California. It is governed by a nine member community-based volunteer board of directors. Our primary service area is the five counties in the San Francisco North Bay, which includes Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Lake and Mendocino.

NBCA was created to be a cancer oriented resource and service organization. Specifically, our objectives are to educate people in our community about early cancer detection methods and how to minimize the risks of cancer as well as to provide tools to help patients cope with the realities of cancer. In addition, NBCA will promote ongoing local clinical research which can offer patients in our community treatments otherwise only available in large metropolitan cities.
