UNC FACT Study

Cancer affects the entire family – including children. If you’re a parent with cancer, you’re not alone. 1 in 4 adults with cancer has children at home.

Help us test a new online tool to support parents and their kids.

FACT stands for “Families Addressing Cancer Together” and is an online resource developed by collaborating with patients, family members, clinicians, and researchers.
