Eduardo Bruera, Chair of the Department of Palliative, Rehabilitation and Integrative Medicine and Medical Director of the Supportive Care Center at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“In a study of 896 cancer inpatients, young adults (18–39) had more psychiatric history, worse sleep, and higher pain (vs. ≥65).
Having children <18 was linked to worse pain, sleep, and financial distress.
Findings highlight the need for tailored psychosocial support.”
