Women's perspectives on communication following the diagnosis of gestational or postpartum cancer: A qualitative study
This study provides crucial insights into the challenges faced by women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy and the postpartum period, particularly regarding communication with HCPs. This highlights the urgent need for enhanced communication, education, and support for HCPs along with tailored resources for women with gestational cancer. Coordinated multidisciplinary care and dedicated advocacy by nurses or midwives are essential to address these challenges and improve health care outcomes for women and their families.
