Summary
This study uses online surveys to learn about the real-life experiences of people diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers. Researchers want to understand the emotional, physical, social, and financial challenges they face. The goal is to use this information to improve support programs and policies for patients, survivors, and caregivers. Anyone in the US, US territories, or Canada who has had cancer or cared for someone with cancer can join.
