Data on Lymphoma Reported by Researchers at Tufts Medical Center (The Impact of Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma On Informal Caregivers: Results From the Connect Cross-sectional Survey).

Researchers at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts conducted a survey to evaluate the role of caregivers in treatment decision-making for patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) in the USA. The survey included 209 caregivers, and the results showed that spouse/partner caregivers were more involved in caregiving at symptom onset and treatment option discussions with physicians. Cure was identified as the top treatment goal for caregivers, and while caregivers reported good health-related quality of life (HRQoL), nearly 30% of employed caregivers reported work impairment. The study highlights the importance of understanding the caregiver experience and providing support for their needs. [Extracted from the article]
