A patient-led survey on information and communication needs of patients with metastatic breast cancer in Ireland and Northern Ireland (CTRIAL-IE 23–05)
Currently the needs of MBC patients in Ireland and Northern Ireland have many unmet needs. The routine early provision of palliative care, psycho-oncology, medical social worker and dedicated liaison nurse supports guided by national guidelines and education for healthcare professionals, integrated with living well with cancer clinics and a dedicated medically verified website would provide an ecosystem where MBC care could be optimised for patients and their families.
