Joint webinar: Patient preferences matter
9 January @ 17:00 - 18:30
Virtual Event
The Older Adult Council-OAC is a think-tank established in 2022 to stimulate cross cutting questions in the field of cancer in the older population. Currently, one of our strategies is to identify new key areas of interest in the research of older patients with cancer. OAC would like to raise awareness on improving clinical research in older adult patients by exploring methodological aspects like the study design, the benefit assessment, the recruitment, retention, treatment toxicities, evaluation of frailty and translational research.
In this scope, the Educational Working Group of the OAC took the initiative to launch webinar series. This webinar will focus on patient preference matter and will be performed in collaboration with the EORTC Quality of Life Group.
Audience: we will welcome all caregivers interested in.
