Founded in 1983, Vital Options is an international not-for-profit cancer communications and advocacy organization, and the first national organization to singularly focus on young adults with cancer before expanding to serve people of all ages with the launch of The Group Room in the mid-1990s. In addition to The Group Room cancer talk radio show, Vital Options recently launched CancerTalkSM, a multimedia Internet radio show. Headquartered in Southern California, Vital Options has a European division based in Paris, France.

This special broadcast of The Group Room is supported through educational grants from Dendreon and Novacea.
