Plenary Session 2: Patients as a driving force to develop care
In many parts of the world, patients and their kin claim an individual relation to healthcare, focusing on the patient. Expectations are high on receiving an individualized treatment; on transparency and on access to your own data. Many also want to contribute to the development of cancer care with their own data, generated inside or outside healthcare.
How will this development influence the relationship between healthcare and the individual patient? How can healthcare take advantage of the research advancements in precision medicine? How should patients be involved? And is a patient focus only a high income luxury or a possibility everywhere?
