This piece is co-authored by researchers and ovarian cancer patients and presents their experience of patient involvement in a laboratory-based cancer research project focused on the personalised treatment of high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Discussions with five ovarian cancer patients about their treatment experience highlighted the fact that drugs showing equivalent clinical efficacy are not necessarily tolerated equally by individual patients. This led researchers to alter their original experimental design, by including a number of the same drug type instead of focusing on only one. The researchers also discuss the benefits it has made to both the research and to them as researchers. The patients involved write about their experience, what they enjoyed, and the benefits they felt.
