Perceived unmet needs and impact on quality of life of patients living with advanced bladder cancer and their caregivers: results of a social media listening study conducted in five European countries
This social media listening study demonstrated the profound emotional and physical burden on patients with aBC and their caregivers, and a genuine need for support and an outlet to discuss their challenges, particularly in terms of managing the illness. These results underscore the importance of enhancing education for both patients and caregivers and the necessity for more effective systemic cancer therapies and better palliative care alternatives.
