The support groups of the Bavarian Cancer Research Center (BZKF) aim to help people after their cancer diagnosis and improve their quality of life. They are disease-related groups and members support each other through the commonality of “the cancer disease” by providing information and exchanging experiences. The listed support groups are open to everyone and the meetings are free of charge and timely.
