Brain Tumor Patient-Caregiver Congruence, MD Anderson Symptom Inventory-Brain Tumor Module (MDASI-BT)
Completed
Conditions studied: Brain Tumor
In brief
The goal of this study is to compare patient ratings of how severe their own symptoms may be, with their caregivers' ratings of how severe they think the patients' symptoms may be. This will be compared using a questionnaire that is given to patients with brain tumors and their caregivers. Researchers will also study any effects that these patients' neurocognitive function may have on these patients' and their caregivers' ratings of how severe the brain cancer symptoms may be.
