Banish Cancer was founded in 2021 by Nerijus Kaziela, a Stage IVA/G3 cancer survivor who endured 35 radiotherapy sessions and 11 chemotherapy cycles in one continuous stretch — followed immediately by a COVID‑19 infection that forced even deeper isolation at the moment support was needed most. That experience revealed a truth too many patients face alone:
healing is not only physical — it’s deeply emotional. Banish Cancer exists to support people through the hardest mental‑battle nights of cancer. We help patients and families feel less alone by providing clear, trustworthy, fact‑checked educational information that brings confidence instead of fear. We translate complex oncology research from leading institutions — including, but not limited to, Nature Medicine, NEJM, The Lancet Oncology, Blood, NCI, ASCO, ESMO, MD Anderson, and Johns Hopkins — into guidance that most people can understand. Our work includes:
• Evidence‑based cancer education
• Prevention strategies and awareness
• Clear explainers on diagnosis and treatment
• Mental‑health support resources
• Survivor‑led insights
• Development of Fear Response AI, a future tool designed to offer calm presence during the long nights when fear hits hardest
We support cancer patients and families globally, including Lithuania, where our mission began. BANISH CANCER FEAR TOGETHER.
