Counselling for Cancer Patients and their Relatives

As part of a research collaboration with the Cancer Information Service of the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg, we are investigating the counselling needs of cancer patients and their relatives and how these have changed over the last 25 years. Based on the analysis of long-term data from the Cancer Information Service, insights can be gained into cancer-related information needs against the background of various influencing factors, such as the role or the stage of the disease.

Project Duration
