Better for people, smarter for systems: the case for person-centred cancer care.
Almost half of people living with cancer feel they are not sufficiently involved in decisions about their own treatment. That is not a minor shortcoming. It is a signal that health systems are organised around their own structures rather than the people they exist to serve and it is costing both lives and resources. Global diagnoses are projected to rise by nearly 77 per cent by 2050, and health systems cannot afford to keep organising care this way.
