Unmet informational and supportive care needs of patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer: A systematic review of the evidence.

CONCLUSIONS: This review contributes to a greater understanding of the unmet supportive care needs of patients affected by MIBC. Findings reflect a paucity of research, but existing studies indicated needs commonly related to intimacy, informational, physical and psychological needs. Despite the emerging evidence-base, the current within study limitations precludes our understanding about how the needs of patients evolve over time. PMID: 30057091 [PubMed - in process]
