Living with and beyond cancer: a patient’s quality of life is just as important as survival

The views of patients with cancer, and their survivorship, is becoming increasingly important to cancer research. This podcast not only highlights the importance of patient involvement in setting the research agenda, but also reveals the challenges, next-steps, and progress being made in the development of treatments and knowledge regarding all aspects of cancer. In this podcast, our featured experts give us an overview of the challenges surrounding cancer survivorship and how they can be addressed going forward.

This podcast features: Galina Velikova, PhD, of the University of Leeds, Leeds, UK; Andrew Bottomley, PhD, of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), Brussels, Belgium; Adrian Edwards, MBBS, MPhil, PhD, from the University of Cardiff, Cardiff, UK; Diana Greenfield, RN, PhD, of Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield, UK; Gemma Pearce, PhD, from Coventry University, Coventry, UK; and Bernard Rachet, MD, PhD, FFPH, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK.
