Support and care needs among Mexican women with metastatic breast cancer
This study is the first qualitative exploration of support needs among Mexican women with MBC. Our findings show that patients face multifaceted needs that can negatively impact their quality of life. Targeted interventions aimed at addressing gaps in clinical communication, emotional support, financial assistance, and supportive care access are urgently needed to alleviate distress in this vulnerable population.
