Tablets and capsules instead of infusions - this is a trend in the treatment of certain cancers, because it facilitates administration. However, the patients are now responsible for the correct intake of their medication.

German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe) is funding the project with more than 330,000€ over the next three years.
