Welcome
CancerConnect is a comprehensive online resource center and social network for cancer patients and their caregivers. Since 1996, it has been providing best in class, disease-specific patient information, covering relevant topics such as latest treatments, management of side effects, clinical trials, and support groups. A key component of the CancerConnect resource center is CancerConnect Community, a secure, nationwide social network that allows members to share their experiences and knowledge. There are currently over 60 CancerConnect groups dedicated to topics related to breast, colon, lung, prostate, and many other cancer types. In addition, groups are sharing information and insight into their personal experiences with caregiving, genetic testing, screening, prevention, health and wellness, and supportive care topics.
