Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The diagnosis and treatment of multiple myeloma affect not only the patient but also their family and caregivers. Advances in therapy have transformed the follow-up of patients treated for multiple myeloma. The involvement of informal caregivers has become increasingly essential to ensure adequate home-based care, as most treatments are now delivered on an outpatient basis. Literature reviews suggest that caregivers of cancer patients often face unmet supportive care needs, which in turn negatively impact their quality of life.
