“50% patients and 40% caregivers are dissatisfied with how symptoms and disease evolution are communicated. And they have difficulty understanding doctors’ messages. Communication and the emotional side, especially of caregivers, must be improved; 70% expressed an unaware urgency for psychological support. And if patients search more for the cause of the disease, doctors are much less likely to find a cure”
