Priorities to improve cancer caregiving: report of a caregiver stakeholder workshop
Open accessAbstract
Purpose Caregivers of people with cancer represent a large, overburdened, and under-recognized part of the cancer care workforce. Research efforts to address the unmet needs of these caregivers are expanding with studies focused on caregivers' skill sets, physical and psychological health, and integration into healthcare delivery. As this field of research continues to expand, integrating caregivers' input is vital to studies to ensure that research aligns with their experiences. Methods This is a focus group study of 15 cancer caregivers conducted during a cancer caregiving workshop at the University of Pittsburgh in February 2020. During the workshop, caregivers reviewed, critiqued, and proposed priorities to support caregivers of adults with cancer. We used a multistage consensus building approach to identify priority areas of research and clinical practice to address caregivers' experiences and needs. We used descriptive content analysis to summarize caregivers' priorities. Results Caregiver-identified priorities included (1) training and information about cancer and treatment, (2) caregiver integration into the patient's healthcare delivery, (3) assistance with navigating the healthcare system, (4) focus on caregiver health and well-being, and (5) policy reform to address caregiver needs. We identified ways in which these priorities can inform cancer caregiving research and practice. Conclusion These recommendations should be considered by researchers, clinicians, cancer center leadership, and policymakers interested in creating caregiver-focused research protocols, interventions, and support systems.

Previous findings indicate that information provision and family caregiver training are among the most frequently reported unmet needs in cancer care.
“These results support previous findings that information provision and family caregiver training are among the most frequently reported unmet needs in cancer care.”
From The burdens, coping strategies, and unmet needs of family caregivers of Chinese patients with lymphoma receiving commercial CAR-T-cell therapy: A qualitative study (2026) · cites this paper as [70]
The Results section identifies information and training about cancer and treatment as a caregiver priority, and participants described lacking adequate information and training after hospital discharge. The paper does not establish that these were among the most frequently reported unmet needs across cancer care; it reports priorities from a caregiver workshop, not a frequency ranking.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
