Cancer patients in Germany face a range of experiences within the healthcare system, from palliative care challenges to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Psycho-oncological support programs like isPO are generally well-received, though there is room for improvement. Marginalized groups, such as British military personnel, experience significant gaps in supportive care. Despite these challenges, the quality and accessibility of oncological care appear to be relatively consistent across urban and rural areas. Addressing these issues can lead to better overall care and support for cancer patients in Germany.
