The Critical Role of Caregivers in Glioblastoma Treatment by Dr. Laurie Minns
Caregivers are the unsung heroes in the fight against glioblastoma, often facing immense challenges as they navigate the complexities of the disease alongside their loved ones. Dr. Laurie Minns, Assistant Professor of Clinical Research at the University of North Carolina, sheds light on caregivers’ crucial role in improving patient outcomes. Her research highlights how caregiver mastery—developing the skills and knowledge to effectively manage care—can significantly impact patient survival and quality of life. This session offers valuable insights for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers alike, highlighting the need for improved communication, support systems, and the inclusion of caregivers in the treatment process.
