🎗️ #WorldCancerDay reminds us that every patient’s experience matters, like Betty's. We work to improve the #QualityofLife of people living with cancer through robust patient-reported outcome measures—leading to better understanding of treatment impact and better care. #GivingVoice2Patients 👇

👏 Recently published in Pediatric Blood & Cancer: SIOP abstract by Chiara Vetrano about @eortc.org #QualityofLife Group systematic review mapping key HRQOL aspects for children with cancer under 8 years to refine PRO assessment in this population. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/pbc.... #GivingVoice2Patients

Why do academic #ClinicalTrials matter? Because they show which treatments truly benefit patients. Roger, an EORTC trial participant, shares why independent, non‑commercial cancer research is essential. 👉 Like & reshare to spread the word. #WorldCancerDay #EORTCimpact#LeavingNoCancerPatientBehind

🤝 This multinational trial shows that @eortc.org patient-reported outcome (PRO) data provide value in the evaluation of the side effects of cancer treatment—especially for cognitive & psychological symptoms. www.eortc.org/blog/2026/01... #GivingVoice2Patients #QualityofLife @msztankay.bsky.social
