Article Synopsis
- The study investigates patient experiences and unmet care needs related to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced melanoma, focusing on individuals in both adjuvant and metastatic stages.
- Through interviews and focus groups with 35 patients, researchers identified three main themes: decision-making uncertainty, the intense nature of the immunotherapy course, and differing feelings about the treatment experience between adjuvant and metastatic patients.
- Findings highlight the need for tailored guidance and support for patients based on their treatment stage, including options for flexible follow-ups and psychosocial help during the treatment process.
