Cancer Survivorship Week

All patients, from the time of diagnosis through their life during and after treatment, are survivors. Family members, friends and caregivers also are affected by cancer and are survivors, too.  

To commemorate National Cancer Survivors Day, held annually on the first Sunday in June, MD Anderson is hosting online activities June 5-11, 2022.

Events will be held online to provide a safe, accessible event and reduce the spread of infection.
