What matters most to people with colorectal cancer?
Results of a 2-part online workshop
Historically, decision-making in cancer research – how the resources are allocated, and what questions are answered – has been driven by the opinions of researchers and clinical experts.
But can we assume that the priorities of researchers are necessarily the same as those of patients? And should research funders do more to ensure that patients’ needs are taken into consideration?
This workshop brought together people with experience of colorectal cancer and health professionals to talk about the challenges that matter most to patients. You can see a full list of the research questions, plus a summary of the outcomes in the files linked below.
