Do you have breast cancer or are you treating patients with breast cancer?

We cordially invite you to take part in our study. We would like to ask for your personal assessment of the communication you experienced with your treating team or patients in the context of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Aim of the study

The corona pandemic shows how important and difficult it is to maintain timely, adequate care for individual patients. The long-term aim of this study is to develop patient-centered care for breast cancer patients that does justice to doctors' time management.
