Consultation has concluded
We want to work with you to develop the right materials to help patients remain safe and informed during Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) - or cancer treatment with medicines
What is Systemic anti-cancer therapy?
Any treatment of cancer with drugs is either:
chemotherapy – where drugs directly destroy the cancer cells, or
immunotherapy – where drugs stimulate your own body to target the cancer
All of these drugs are now called Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT).
Why are we doing this research?
We want to work with patients to develop the right materials to help patients remain safe and access the resources available during a cancer treatment.
We have developed some templates for a pre-treatment consultation, similar to a pre-assessment you might attend prior to surgery.
How you can get involved
On April 25 we ran a one-off focus group with patients and carers who have experienced chemotherapy where we presented our draft materials and took advice on how and when to use them
Following the focus group, we will post these materials on Cancer Patients' Voice for further commentary prior to translation into 5 languages
