About the trial
A growing number of people are living for many years after cancer treatment but we don’t yet know all the ways to support them to ensure the best possible recovery. This study is interested in how a diagnosis of cancer and its treatment affects a person’s life over time.
This study will follow a large group of patients over time who have had a diagnosis of cancer.
If you take part in this study, you'll be asked to complete questionnaires which aim to find out about your health and wellbeing at various times during and after your cancer diagnosis and treatment.
This information will help researchers understand the impact that cancer diagnosis and treatment has on everyday life. Recruitment will take place prior to treatment from hospitals across the UK.
The study is organised by Macmillan in conjunction with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and runs from approximately 50 hospitals throughout the UK.
