More than 5,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year in Upper Austria. There are currently 14 Cancer Counseling Centres there which help with the appropriate consultations. The information programmes and supporting research projects they provide are wide-ranging.
Most recently skin cancer campaigns were carried out in playschools along with non-smoking projects in schools and breast self-examination courses. In a separate research funding association research projects are implemented.
