About Total Cancer Care-Support

The Total Cancer Care® (TCC)-Support Study is a partnership between you and Huntsman Cancer Institute's health care providers and researchers. Our goal is to better understand what causes cancer, and to find better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer, by comparing and contrasting differences in individuals without cancer with those that do have cancer. The TCC-Support Study is not currently enrolling participants.

Who can participate?

  • Men and women between the ages of 18 and 89 who are currently cancer-free

If you have been diagnosed with cancer or an inherited condition, learn about the Total Cancer Care® study.

  • We may ask you for the items at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after your initial study visit
