Abstract
Cancer patient advocates represent those affected by cancer and have a broad view of cancer research. They are involved in many diverse cancer research committees, where they can help tackle old problems from new perspectives that often differ from government, academic, medical and scientific approaches. In this role, patient advocates have aided the development of educational dialogue between investigators and patient communities and assisted in streamlining cancer research policies and clinical trials.Keywords
