Many people with family members have cancer. You need to be more specific. I'm a mother and my son has cancer. My focus is totally on his well being and his physical health. We also do not let cancer be an excuse not to live life. I am not sure how you wish to help your sister. How old is she? What is her health status? How old are you? What is your role in her life?
I can tell you what the role is for my son's brother and sister. And, that is to be emotionally supportive. To hang out with him. To treat him as normally as possible. Offer to take him to doctors appointments and the cancer clinic. Chat and have fun with each other.
If you are older and can take the burden off your sister by offering to do research and seek out treatment options, than do that too.
Otherwise, your gift to your sister should be your time. When you are with her, she becomes the most important person in the world. Make her feel that. Enjoy and delight in her company.

The best way to help her is just to be there for her. Treat her as normal as possible. She doesn't need to be constantly reminded by everyone that she is sick. Also, you just need to be very understanding. The road that leads through cancer is a long one. It will take a while for your sister to physically be as active and lively as she was before. I've been done with treatments for almost 8 months now, and I still have those days where it is just too difficult to get out of bed. You are not going to be able to understand what she's going through unless you've been through it yourself, but just be supportive.

The best way to help is to be her friend and be a good listener when she needs you. You need to be strong for her. Not saying you can't cry, but just try and always be happy around her.
When she is weak, hold her hand.
When she has a good day, go shopping.
When she is tired, sing or read to her. Or just lay with her.

Supposing you don´t mean medical help:
Make her feel in peace with herself. Let her loose all emotional attachments with things, people, and with herself. Set her free.
