Krebsliga Aargau

What Krebsliga Aargau does

Krebsliga Aargau is a ZEWO-certified regional non-profit cancer league founded in 1967 and headquartered at Kasernenstrasse 25, Aarau, Switzerland. It serves cancer patients, their relatives, and the broader public of Canton Aargau through personal counseling on medical, financial, insurance, and family-life matters following a cancer diagnosis; home-care support via a nursing-bed service; recurring support groups (for affected individuals, relatives, and men); Nordic walking groups; and public information events on topics such as nutrition and phytotherapy. The organization operates with a small core team and distributes services directly through its Aarau office, telephone consultation, and the national KrebsInfo helpline (0800 11 88 11) provided under the Krebsliga Schweiz umbrella network of 19 cantonal leagues.

The organization funds its activities through donations and charitable contributions, and complements its support work with independent cancer research funding and prevention/early-detection programming. In 2024 it established Clario - Stiftung für Krebsvorsorge und Früherkennung as a dedicated foundation for cancer prevention and early detection, and through that vehicle it launched a Canton Aargau breast cancer screening program (Brustkrebsscreening) on July 1, 2026, representing a structural extension from patient-and-family support into population-scale preventive health services. Krebsliga Aargau participates in the multi-channel Krebsliga Schweiz national infrastructure (website, events, support groups, printed materials, social media) and co-hosts information sessions with regional healthcare partners including Hirslanden Klinik Aarau and Spital Muri.
