Patrick Dempsey is raising awareness of the wide range of resources available to help people fight cancer through Breakaway from Cancer. Dempsey talks about the challenges of choosing the right path and making the right choices -- and urges people to take advantage of the free resources available via www.breakawayfromcancer.com.

Breakaway from Cancer represents a collaboration between Amgen and four nonprofit partner organizations to connect individuals with support services ranging from cancer prevention, assistance during treatment, and embracing survivorship. The Breakaway from Cancer website provides a one-stop shop of essential resources, including a navigator tool to help maneuver through the complicated maze of online information that currently exists. The tool conducts a targeted search based on user-entered criteria from more than 100 hand-selected credible cancer websites to offer patients the information they need.

"Wherever you may be in your cancer journey, Breakaway from Canceris here to help you find your way," Dempsey explains. "Whether you're newly diagnosed or have finished your treatment, breakawayfromcancer.com has resources you can use — all in one place."
