The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) National Patient Registry is a unique opportunity for people with a current or past diagnosis of blood cancer to become “citizen scientists.”

With their participation, the LLS Registry can gather data from hundreds or even thousands of patients about the real, day-to-day impact of blood cancer and its treatment on their lives.

An individual patient’s experience from cancer diagnosis to treatment and hopefully on to long-term survivorship offers a singular and important perspective. But when joined with the experience of others, these individual stories can combine to paint a fuller picture, uncovering important patterns that can influence the entire field and move research forward.

Understanding the real-world experiences of blood cancer patients helps to inform how LLS directs the tens of millions of dollars we invest in research every year—research focused on finding cures and improving the quality of life for people living with every type of blood cancer.

LLS is the largest nonprofit funder of blood cancer research, powering the scientific engine that drives blood cancer cures and brings hope to patients and their families.
