Long-term impact of financial distress and mental well-being in early vs advanced oral cancer patients on the quality of life of informal caregivers: An exploratory study of a real-world cohort from LMIC

This exploratory study highlights the impact of financial distress and mental well-being of oral cancer patients on the quality of life of their informal caregivers in an LMIC setting. While differences in caregivers' quality of life between early and advanced-stage patients were not statistically significant, a trend toward greater financial toxicity and psychological impact among caregivers of advanced-stage patients was observed. These findings underscore the need for targeted support interventions for caregivers, particularly focusing on financial and mental health assistance. As a preliminary investigation, this study emphasizes the importance of further research to develop comprehensive support strategies for caregivers in LMICs, aiming to enhance their overall quality of life.

Abstract

This exploratory study highlights the impact of financial distress and mental well-being of oral cancer patients on the quality of life of their informal caregivers in an LMIC setting. While differences in caregivers' quality of life between early and advanced-stage patients were not statistically significant, a trend toward greater financial toxicity and psychological impact among caregivers of advanced-stage patients was observed. These findings underscore the need for targeted support interventions for caregivers, particularly focusing on financial and mental health assistance. As a preliminary investigation, this study emphasizes the importance of further research to develop comprehensive support strategies for caregivers in LMICs, aiming to enhance their overall quality of life.
