Particularly in the context of cancer care, marked by its intricate nature and emotional impact, there is a pressing requirement to rethink how health care is delivered. In this context, comprehensive cancer care networks (CCCNs) provide a new means of structuring and delivering quality cancer care, recognizing each patient's unique preferences and needs.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to establish a consistent definition and framework for patient centeredness in CCCNs, facilitating the integration of a patient-centered approach to enhance care quality.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted an umbrella review focusing on generic and JMIR cancere59683https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12355145biostudies-literaturePractical Approaches to Patient-Centered Care in Europe: Mixed Methods Study Developing a Conceptual Framework for Comprehensive Cancer Care Networks.PMC12355145Cemazar MHickmann EGrapentin NGriesshammer EDudek-Godeau DSchlieter HWesselmann SJelenc MRavaud ATroussard XLiutkauskiene SRichter PfalsePractical Approaches to Patient-Centered Care in Europe: Mixed Methods Study Developing a Conceptual Framework for Comprehensive Cancer Care Networks.<h4>Background</h4>In contemporary health care, patient-centered care has emerged as a pivotal paradigm shift that redefines the traditional physician-centric model.
