A unique caregiver burden and quality of life for the caregivers of CTCL patients exists, and as such, there may be unidentified, and thus unmet, caregiver needs.
The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the demographics, unique caregiver burden, quality of life issues in those caring for patients with cutaneous t-cell lymphoma and the differences in caregiver burden dependent upon disease severity.
