BZKF Patient Expert Pool

The Comprehensive Cancer Centers (CCC) of the Bavarian university hospitals in Augsburg, Erlangen, Munich, Regensburg and Würzburg aim to improve the chances of recovery and quality of life of cancer patients.

To this end, a Patient Expert Pool (PEP) was set up at the Bavarian Center for Cancer Research (BZKF). The experiences and perspectives of patients and their relatives are to be incorporated into the work of the CCC and the BZKF in order to enable a needs-oriented approach to cancer treatment and research.
