This PubMed entry documents the article titled Patients as Co-Researchers in Oncology: A Qualitative Exploration of Participatory Governance, published in Health Expect (2026 Aug;29(4):e70762). The bibliographic identifiers in the record are DOI 10.1111/hex.70762 and PubMed PMID 42423243. A free full-text copy is linked through PubMed Central with PMCID PMC13347621.
These identifiers can be used to locate the journal page, publisher PDF, or the PMC-hosted article for full details. The PubMed record itself provides the core citation metadata but does not contain the article text in the excerpt supplied here.
The author list as presented in the PubMed record includes Yaël Busnel, Aline Rollet, Aline Cristiani, Véronique Rivoire, Laurie Panse and Julie Haesebaert. Their affiliations span multiple French research and clinical institutions:
The PubMed entry lists these institutional connections but does not specify author roles (for example, corresponding author details) within the supplied excerpt. For contact or correspondence information, consult the full-text article via the publisher or PMC link.
The record identifies a collaborative corporate author, the PROOF Investigators Group, and enumerates multiple collaborators affiliated with the participating centers. Named collaborators include clinicians, researchers and investigators drawn from the listed French centers (for example, Centre Léon Bérard, Hospices Civils de Lyon, AP-HP and GHU Paris). The PubMed entry provides the collaborator names and their institutional affiliations as metadata.
No additional operational details about the PROOF Investigators Group, its structure, governance, or specific contributions to this study are provided in the excerpted record.
PubMed supplies direct links to the publisher (Wiley) and a Free PMC article link. The presence of PMCID PMC13347621 indicates that the full text is archived in PubMed Central and should be accessible without subscription. Clinicians and researchers seeking the full qualitative data, methods, participant characteristics, thematic findings, and authors’ conclusions should retrieve the article via the PMCID link or the journal’s DOI page.
The supplied PubMed content in this source contains only bibliographic and contributor metadata. Crucially, the following items were not reported in the provided excerpt and therefore cannot be summarised or restated from this source alone:
Because these elements are absent from the provided PubMed snippet, any clinical interpretation or operationalisation of the study’s findings requires consulting the full text.
Use the DOI (10.1111/hex.70762) or the PubMed PMID (42423243) to navigate directly to the publisher page or PubMed entry.
Access the full text via PubMed Central using PMCID PMC13347621 for the complete article, which should include the abstract, methods, results, figures, conflict-of-interest statement and references.
When reviewing the full article, extract key clinical- and policy-relevant items: study aims, qualitative framework, participant roles (patients as co-researchers), governance structures evaluated, main themes and illustrative quotes, authors’ interpretation, and any reported implications for oncology research practice.
For evidence synthesis or implementation, verify funding sources and conflicts of interest reported in the full text, and consider contacting the corresponding author if clarification or additional materials (for example, interview guides or coding frameworks) are required.
