The State of Cancer Survivorship

The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) conducts an annual State of Survivorship Survey, in partnership with Edge Research, to delve into the cancer patient and survivor journey. This study captures a range of perspectives to better understand how NCCS can support its mission to advocate for quality cancer care for all. New this year, we’ve added a companion survey for caregivers.

State of Survivorship Survey: 2023 Results Briefing
October 3 | 1:00 PM ET | Registration Form »

NCCS worked with Edge Research to conduct our fifth nationwide survey of cancer survivors. The 2023 survey explores the cancer survivor journey to understand better how we can support our mission to advocate for quality cancer care for all. New this year, we surveyed more than 500 caregivers to understand their perspectives.

Join NCCS and be the first to hear the results of the 2023 survey during a virtual briefing on October 3 at 1:00 PM ET.

We will share how caregivers align with and differ from patients regarding decision-making and satisfaction with cancer care. Additionally, our 2023 survey included new questions about survivor and caregiver employment challenges after a cancer diagnosis. NCCS CEO Shelley Fuld Nasso and Edge Research Principal Pam Loeb will present the survey findings.
