The advantages of patient and public involvement (PPI) in research are becoming more widely known, however different research organizations have different rates of adoption. Comparably, some groups provide tokenistic participation in the research process, which is inconsistent with the extent to which PPI partners are truly involved. Recent developments in the field of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) research have shown how crucial PPI is to the foundation of the entire research process, from formulating the research question to disseminating the findings. This manuscript aims to present an overview of PPI within the framework of CAT research and demonstrate how, when used appropriately, PPI can improve a project’s overall success, rigor, and relevance.
