Better care. Closer to patients. Connected support.
WISH is a European research project developing and testing a new model of follow-up for women receiving hormonal treatment after early breast cancer. It connects women, general practitioners and oncology teams through a shared care pathway supported by digital tools.
Why WISH
Hormonal treatment after early breast cancer may continue for several years. During this period, women may experience physical, emotional and practical challenges that affect treatment adherence, well-being and everyday life. Follow-up is often centred on periodic hospital appointments, while many needs arise between visits.
WISH is exploring a more connected approach in which women, general practitioners and oncology teams work together throughout follow-up.
