How do people living with dementia make decisions about their cancer care?: A meta-ethnographic systematic review
Decision-making experiences were complex and multi-layered. Dementia negatively influenced understanding and retention of information. Poor consistency in staffing and complexity of information provided were overwhelming. PLWCDC were not always meaningfully involved in their cancer-care decisions. Individualised, consistent care is required to improve outcomes for this population.
