The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has issued its first-ever guidelines specifically for caregivers of cancer patients. These guidelines address the physical, mental, and financial burdens caregivers face, including managing appointments, medications, and household tasks. NCCN highlights that 70% of caregivers juggle jobs and caregiving, with 60% living separately from patients. The guidelines emphasize the importance of caregiver self-care and include a dedicated chapter on caregiver well-being.
