Understanding the support needs of women with gynecologic cancer
Abstract
There is a relative sparsity of research on and resources for individuals with and survivors of gynecologic cancer compared to other cancers. This paper aims to review the current literature related to the challenges this population faces and subsequent support needs. In addition, it discusses future steps that will allow for the highest quality of care for those recovering from gynecologic cancers.
