Caregiver burden, patients' self‐perceived burden, and preference for palliative care among cancer patients and caregivers

This could be interpreted that high CB can lead to preference for palliative care in both patients and their caregivers, potentially threatening patient autonomy. Efforts to relieve CB and SPB are needed. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
