Symptom management and quality of life in glioma patients
Open accessAbstract
Symptoms of fatigue, cognitive deficits, depression and changes in personality and behavior are frequently reported in patients with glioma. These symptoms have a large impact on the everyday life of patients and their partners and can contribute to a decrease in quality of life. While guidelines are available for managing most of these symptoms, these guidelines are often not suitable for the brain tumor patient population, as this population has very specific problems and needs. Obtaining more evidence on the effectiveness of existing and new interventions targeting fatigue, cognitive deficits, depression, and changes in personality and behavior in this population is advised. Screening combined with adequate referral to supportive care professionals has the potential to decrease the disease burden of glioma patients and their partners.

Many studies outside neuro-oncology report substantial quality-of-life impairment among caregivers of advanced cancers, particularly where symptom burden, treatment intensity, and end-of-life caregiving predominate, which could narrow observed differences between tumour types.

The absence of a pooled difference in quality of life may reflect that caregiving for other advanced cancers can also be profoundly taxing when care needs are intense.

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.
