We all agree, that patients have to be first before clinical trials are being planned, when doctors discuss therapy options, when monitoring patients through difficult side effect management, supporting them in molecular diagnostic and early palliative care. Patient community collaboration with industry has come a long way and is working well, patient centricity has become a strong topic. Cancer patients need guidance and good communication in dealing with side effects, specially those with advanced and metastatic disease. We all agree, I thought…until I visited a Symposium for treatment options in metastatic breast cancer, where oncologists were being asked what in their opinion the biggest outstanding question related to a new drug for metastatic breast would be? How disappointing to see the voting: Top two were „identification of biomarkers and sequencing different agents“ and with only 1% at the end of the voting list was „AE management“ Today we have great treatment options with longer survival. But this comes with a price, adverse events and sometimes serious adverse events. Health Care Professionals have to be aware of how much patients depend on their guidance and support. This is an important message WE STILL HAVE TO DO MORE FOR PATIENTS!

What does patient centricity mean to you?  Let me share what being truly patient centric means to me and why it matters to us at Daiichi Sankyo. Patients' experiences, preferences and needs are diverse and individual. To understand them, it is important to create platforms where all relevant stakeholders can come together to enter into an exchange. Such a platform at Daiichi Sankyo Europe GmbH is the European Oncology Patient Advocacy Forum, which took place last week. Over two days, patient advocates and Daiichi Sankyo colleagues met to discuss changes that matter to cancer patients and their caregivers and to capture the results in a roadmap. As a learning organization, it is crucial for us to systematically seek dialogue and translate our insights into meaningful actions. After all, these findings help us to work with our partners to improve the lives of patients and their caregivers. What does patient centricity mean to you? I’m looking forward to hear your perspective! #PatientCentricity #Oncology #Collaboration #ChangesThatMatter
