  • Highlights
    • Innovation in cancer care does not have to be complex or expensive.
    • An innovation's value depends on patient outcomes, quality of life and system costs.
    • A whole-system, whole-patient approach is required to guide investment in innovation.
    • Patients must be more involved in defining and assessing the value of innovation.
    •  Investment in real-world data is essential to shape decisions about interventions.
