What’s the study about?

OPTIMA (Optimal Treatment for Patients with Solid Tumours in Europe Through Artificial intelligence) is a research project that wants to improve treatment for patients with prostate, breast and lung cancer through artificial intelligence.


As part of this project, researchers want to understand out what research questions in breast cancer need to be answered urgently according to people with lived experience of breast cancer. They have developed a survey, which should take around 30 minutes to complete. The survey will have two rounds. The second round of the survey will be shared at the start of 2023, and will show some of the results from the first round.

What are the criteria for taking part?

You can take part if you are a past or present breast cancer patient, a family member of a breast cancer patient or a representative of breast cancer patients in any capacity (patient advocate, charity worker).
