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
