title: Guiding principles for patient-centred cancer services.
abstract: Cancer can affect anyone, anywhere, but not all those diagnosed have ready access to appropriate services. Macmillan Cancer Relief set out to determine what hindrances make it difficult to receive support while experiencing cancer. Services that overcame barriers were analysed, and the defining elements of these were built into guiding principles for organising cancer services.
