Patient Journey

The cancer patient journey is a way to think about the phases or steps that a cancer patient may experience, from diagnosis to recovery or end of life. Because more than half of all cancers can be prevented and screening for cancer is an important way to improve outcomes, we also include these components in the cancer journey. Looking at cancer in this way, we can study the entire cancer system through the patient lens and identify any gaps or bottlenecks along the way.
