Better access
to cancer treatments, screening awareness programs, and diagnostic tests for all patients
Elevating cancer care in the community
to reach patients where they are
Comprehensive access & affordability solutions
that truly meet patient needs
Innovative drug formulations
with the potential for greater convenience, lower costs, improved patient experience, and availability across sites of care
Impactful healthcare policy
that improves patient access to quality care

Empowering Communities with Access, Together
A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
Genentech is working with the American Cancer Society to provide equitable access to care for every person with cancer and their family, with a focus on underserved populations. Goals include expanding the programmatic reach of patient navigation programs, psychosocial care for patients and their families, increased access to biomarker testing and emerging therapies, and increased representation in clinical trials.

Rethinking Drug Delivery
Innovation in drug formulations, including co-formulations, subcutaneous regimens, and fixed-duration regimens enables us to provide a greater number of options at lower cost to patients and society, available across sites of care, without sacrificing effectiveness. Genentech is committed to innovating in dosing and delivery options to provide customers greater choice and flexibility in serving patients.

Get Screened (convened by the American Cancer Society)
We are a founding sponsor of the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Get Screened initiative, which is intended to rapidly restore and improve screening rates in communities that have faced historical inequities and have been most strongly impacted by the pandemic. Since the launch of this initiative in 2020, we have seen approximately 1.2M new screenings conducted and approximately 16,000 cancers diagnosed that may not have otherwise been found.
Learn more about how this cancer screening awareness program can help patients within your community.
Genentech Patient Support Services
Genentech is committed to improving the accessibility of our medicines and making the process more streamlined and patient-friendly. Our Patient Support Services help people understand their health insurance coverage and costs related to Genentech medicines, support people who do not have health insurance and meet eligibility criteria, provide co-pay assistance or starter programs, and connect patients with organizations that can help them afford their treatment. We remain committed to helping patients access our medicines, regardless of the ability to pay, and will continue to advance our programs to ensure they benefit the patients who truly need them.
