You Can Help CSC with our Research

Cancer Support Community is committed to research that helps make the lives of people with cancer better.

Every year CSC hosts surveys, focus groups, and patient summits to better understand the cancer patient experience. Along with our partners, the Cancer Support Community uses and communicates our insights gained from patients and caregivers to inform policies, develop educational programs, and provide vital support for all people impacted by cancer.

These studies are possible thanks to the help of cancer patients and caregivers like you. Your feedback in a survey, during a focus group, or on a resource we are developing helps ensure patients' and caregivers' needs are being supported.

If you have any questions, please contact research@cancersupportcommunity.org.
