Glioma carers- Assessment of Individual Needs and Support: Protocol for a single arm pilot study

A high-grade glioma (HGG) diagnosis can have devastating impacts for patients and their carers, with carers reporting diverse unmet needs and significant distress.

Our recent systematic review identified no supportive care interventions addressing the unmet needs of carers during the radiation phase of treatment.

A nurse-led, supportive intervention delivered during radiation is an opportunity to address carers’ unmet needs early in the illness trajectory.
