The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is doing research to find out what types of information and support are needed by people living with advanced cancer. We will also use this research to help us update our booklet Advanced Cancer to make it as useful as possible.
Who can take part in the research? • A person with advanced or stage 4 cancer • A person giving care (or who has given care) to someone with advanced or stage 4 cancer
We want to get opinions from a wide range of people and communities, including (but not only): • People living with a rare cancer • Older adults (aged 65 and older) • People living in a rural or remote location (not a city or town centre) • Members of the LGBTQ2+ community • People in lower income households • Those who see themselves as a visible minority.
