How to join and what it costs
Fill out the sign-up form on the ACS ACTS page or call the ACS 24/7 cancer helpline. Patients, caregivers and health care team members can sign up; if someone else submits the form, ACS contacts the patient directly. It's open to residents of the United States and U.S. territories. The ACS page does not list a fee (checked October 23, 2026).
