Cancer survivorship research has the potential to transform lives, but too often, this knowledge remains difficult to access to public audiences. Let’s work on this together.
REACHing with Survivors aims to break down the barriers between science and society through visual storytelling about the latest research and developments.
June 4, 2023
Join us for our video release event on National Cancer Survivorship Day
Anyone, anywhere can weigh in and engage with researchers who specialize in these areas. Videos about cancer survivorship researchers and their area of work will be shared every 30-minutes between 12pm and 4pm EDT. The event is twitter based to reduce barriers to accessibility and engagement.
Survivorship Topics
Priority subject areas have been developed in collaboration with our patient partners to focus this initiative on the most relevant research topics for cancer survivorship communities.
Topics include:
- Cardiovascular Health
- Exercise
- Nutrition
- Pain Management
- Neurocognitive Side and Late Effects
- Fear of Cancer Recurrence
- Patient Education Resources
Speakers
