Patient experience with cancer care in low- and middle-income Asian countries: a cross-sectional study of patients with advanced cancer
This study provides new understanding of care priorities among patients with advanced cancer in LMICs. Our findings highlight the importance patients attribute to physician communication and considerations for improving patient-centred communication to support equitable and culturally appropriate care. This study also underscores the need for future work navigating prognostic discussions in LMICs.
