Editor’s Pick: “Supportive care needs and service use during palliative care in family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer: a prospective longitudinal study”

2021    Throughout the year, we will share articles from the MASCC journal Supportive Care in Cancer. The “Editor’s Pick” section, chosen by the journal’s Editor-In-Chief, Dr. Fred Ashbury, PhD, will cover a variety of topics to meet the many interests of our membership.

This month we feature “Supportive care needs and service use during palliative care in family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer: a prospective longitudinal study.”

From the article: “This study aimed to investigate the supportive care needs of family caregivers (FCs) of advanced cancer patients and their support service use at the beginning of specialist inpatient palliative care (SIPC), near the patient’s death, and during bereavement.”.
