Communication and information needs of patients with cancer in Ghana: A scoping review

Ghanaian patients with cancer strongly desire information regarding their condition and expect to be involved in decision-making. Despite patients with cancer's desire for comprehensive information and shared decision-making, gaps in healthcare communication were evident, including limited accessibility to information, inadequate explanations by healthcare providers, and a lack of patient involvement in decision-making. Addressing these gaps requires tailored interventions to improve healthcare provider-patient communication.
