An education programme for people with cancer.
Evidence suggests that cancer patients want support, information and to be involved in treatment decisions. A course designed in the USA aims to help cancer patients learn more about the disease and become an informed part of the therapeutic team. The introduction of a similar course at one UK centre suggested that it is an effective way of informing and supporting people.
