Overview

Cross-sectional study shows unmet healthcare needs related to social vulnerability in cancer patients, highlighting care disparities.

Key Points

  • Patients with metastatic cancer frequently experience high symptom burden and unmet supportive care needs.
  • Significant proportions of patients report psychological needs (51.4%) and various severe symptoms, notably fatigue (75.9%).
  • While many patients are diagnosed and treated, those with high social vulnerability face more severe health challenges and unmet needs.
  • Healthcare monitoring and targeted interventions are crucial to address these disparities in the cancer care system.
