Integrating Psychosocial Care into Neuro-oncology: Challenges and Strategies
Approximately 256,000 cases of malignant brain and nervous system cancer were diagnosed worldwide during 2012 and 189,000 deaths, with this burden falling more heavily in the developed world. Problematically, research describing the psychosocial needs of people with brain tumours and their carers a...
