Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Quality of Life in Patients with Brain Tumors” delves into the multifaceted challenges faced by patients with brain tumors and their care partners. The quality of life in this patient population encompasses multiple domains—physical, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, social, financial. It affects more than the patient (heavily impacting the care partner(s)), evolves over time, and is impacted by existing inequities in healthcare. This Special Issue aims to present updates, original research, and expert perspectives on these critical aspects within this topic. We aspire to highlight advancements while emphasizing the ongoing need to improve the patient and caregiver experience in this field.
