Lived Experience of Cancer: A WHO Study

In collaboration with ACCO, the World Health Organization is launching a global survey to assess the emotional, social, financial, and mental impact of a cancer diagnosis.

Nearly every family around the world is affected by cancer, either directly or as caregivers. The only way to support this population is to understand their emotional and practical needs. WHO’s “Global survey on the lived experience of people affected by cancer” was designed in collaboration with those affected by cancer.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer or have ever been a caretaker — including partners, parents, children, siblings — we invite you to take the survey and add your voice. This survey focuses on the social, emotional and financial impacts of cancer. Results will help develop programs for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.

As someone affected by cancer, your voice can change how care is provided around the globe.

The survey is available in 7 languages:
