We unite European ALK positive cancer patients towards a cure

Collaborate with us

We are ALK Positive Europe, a non-profit organization connecting patient communities, associations, and advocacy groups across Europe. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for ALK-positive patients and turn a terminal illness into a chronic and hopefully curable disease. We work to expand access to cutting-edge healthcare, clinical trials, drugs, and therapies for European patients.

We are the largest ALK-positive patient community in Europe, with 13 members representing 1700 patients and caregivers.
We are a patient-driven voice and advocacy group driving awareness, advocacy and research supporting improved therapeutics aiming to change the future of ALK-positive cancer.

About APEU

APEU concentrates on the challenges in Europe.

APEU is an umbrella association and serves as a platform where representatives from member countries come together to address the specific needs of European ALK Positive patients.

ALK Positive Europe is not a support group, but we connect you with organizations and ambassadors in your country who offer support to ALK-positive cancer patients.

What is ALK+ cancer?

ALK-positive cancer is caused by alterations of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene, leading to uncontrolled cell replication and survival.
