MyPath : Developing and implementing innovative Patient-Centred Care Pathways for cancer patients

In the EU, 2.7M people were diagnosed with and 1.3M died of cancer in 2020. Over 12M people have survived cancer, thanks to
advances in early detection and new therapies. With higher cure rates and more patients living longer with cancer, access to patientcentred
care consisting of optimal supportive, palliative, survivorship and end-of-life care becomes increasingly important. However,
cancer care still has silos, and to this day, there is no technical support available that is suitable for different cultures, settings and
environments.
Several randomised controlled trials have provided evidence that the integration of patient-centred care in standard oncology care
results in better patient and caregiver outcomes. As yet, these findings have not translated into clinical routine.
In this project, we will develop technology-enhanced and evidence-based patient-centred care pathways, called MyPath, to be
merged with tumour-centred treatments across supportive, palliative, survivorship and end-of-life care.
