(Project: “e-Quo L: e-health tools to promote Equality in Quality of Life for childhood to young adulthood cancer patients, survivors and their families")
Cancer affects 35,000 children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) in Europe each year, with >80% being cured and becoming long-term survivors. Due to cancer and its treatment, they are at risk for late effects and should regularly attend clinical follow-up care. There are several challenges providing follow-up care for CAYA cancer survivors and their families: i) it is resource-demanding in an overburdened healthcare system, ii) psychosocial and supportive care needs are often unmet, and iii) access is unequal between European countries.
In this project, funded by the EU Horizon Europe and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), we aim to use e-health tools to promote equity in quality of life for CAYA cancer survivors and their families. At the University of Lucerne, we will identify the unmet needs of CAYAC families and survivors across Europe, and develop and implement content and structure of a web-based information tool for these families.
