On July 15, 2026 , OncoDaily and Hope for Stomach Cancer announced a strategic media partnership focused on expanding access to reliable stomach cancer information, strengthening patient and caregiver education, and increasing global awareness of gastric cancer.
Through the collaboration, OncoDaily will support the communication and amplification of Hope for Stomach Cancer’s educational programs, patient resources, advocacy activities, research initiatives, and community events. The partnership will also provide new opportunities to highlight the experiences of patients, survivors, caregivers, advocates, and healthcare professionals working across the stomach cancer community.
The collaboration brings together OncoDaily’s international oncology media platform and Hope for Stomach Cancer’s longstanding commitment to supporting people affected by gastric cancer.
Bringing Stomach Cancer Information to a Wider Audience
As part of the partnership, OncoDaily will provide structured coverage of relevant news, programs, campaigns, and initiatives led by Hope for Stomach Cancer.
Content may include educational articles, patient and caregiver perspectives, expert interviews, community updates, research developments, awareness campaigns, webinars, and information about opportunities for patients to become more actively involved in their care.
Selected content will be published and amplified across OncoDaily’s website, newsletters, social media channels, video platforms, and dedicated oncology communities.
The partnership will place particular emphasis on presenting complex medical and scientific information in a clear and accessible format while maintaining clinical accuracy and editorial integrity.
Supporting Patients Through Every Stage of the Journey
A central goal of the collaboration is to ensure that people affected by stomach cancer can more easily find practical, trustworthy, and supportive information.
Hope for Stomach Cancer develops and facilitates programs that help patients, caregivers, and families take actionable steps throughout each phase of the disease. Its resources address important areas such as diagnosis, treatment preparation, nutrition, tumor analysis, clinical trials, survivorship, financial and insurance assistance, peer mentorship, and emotional support.
Through increased media visibility, these resources can reach more individuals who may be navigating a stomach cancer diagnosis without clear guidance or access to a strong support network.
The partnership will also help elevate stories from the stomach cancer community, recognizing that patient and caregiver experiences can provide important insights into unmet needs, treatment challenges, access barriers, and opportunities to improve care.
Advancing Education and Awareness
Stomach cancer can be difficult to identify at an early stage because its symptoms may initially be mild or mistaken for more common gastrointestinal conditions. Improving public and professional awareness is therefore an important part of supporting earlier evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment.
OncoDaily and Hope for Stomach Cancer will work to strengthen education around stomach cancer risk factors, symptoms, prevention, early detection, treatment options, biomarker testing, clinical trials, and survivorship.
Biomarker testing will be among the important educational areas highlighted through the partnership. Understanding the molecular characteristics of a tumor may help patients and healthcare professionals identify appropriate targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and clinical trial opportunities.
By supporting accessible education on these subjects, the collaboration aims to help patients ask informed questions, participate more actively in treatment discussions, and understand the growing role of personalized medicine in gastric cancer care.
Connecting Advocacy, Research, and Clinical Practice
The partnership will also create opportunities for dialogue between patients, advocates, clinicians, researchers, and other stakeholders involved in stomach cancer care.
Hope for Stomach Cancer works closely with leading gastric cancer specialists across multiple disciplines through its Medical Advisory Board. Its programs connect patients with expert-informed resources while also promoting research, data sharing, early detection, prevention, and improved access to care.
OncoDaily will help bring these perspectives to a broader oncology audience through interviews, educational features, expert commentaries, and coverage of important scientific and advocacy developments.
This exchange of information can help ensure that discussions about research and treatment remain connected to the real experiences and priorities of patients and families.
About Hope for Stomach Cancer
Hope for Stomach Cancer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides support, resources, and education to patients, caregivers, and loved ones affected by stomach cancer. It also promotes early detection and prevention among the public and medical communities.
The organization operates as the doing-business-as name of the Stomach Cancer Awareness Network.
Its mission is to provide support, resources, and awareness to those affected by stomach cancer. Through research, early detection, prevention, and community engagement, the organization works to save lives and contribute to the search for a cure.
Hope for Stomach Cancer was founded by Aki Smith following her father’s diagnosis with advanced stomach cancer in December 2013. Her family’s experience navigating treatment, insurance limitations, and the shortage of clear stomach cancer resources demonstrated the urgent need for greater support and guidance.
After undergoing a total gastrectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, her father achieved remission. The family’s experience became the foundation for an organization dedicated to helping others face stomach cancer with greater knowledge, support, and hope.
Today, Hope for Stomach Cancer provides a wide range of programs and resources, including support groups, mentorship, webinars, treatment and survivorship guidance, nutritional information, financial assistance resources, clinical trial information, tumor analysis education, and patient empowerment initiatives.
