Eligibility Criteria
Systemic assessment of caregiver needs and outcomes remains limited, and support services are inconsistently utilized or inadequately tailored to this population. Addressing this gap is critical, as caregiver well-being has downstream effects on patient outcomes, care continuity, and family resilience. By quantitatively characterizing the psychosocial burden, unmet needs, and support utilization among caregivers of patients with pancreatic and other major cancer types, this study aims to capture a more comprehensive understanding of the caregiving experience across the cancer continuum. The findings will provide an essential evidence base to inform targeted interventions aimed at improving both caregiver and patient Quality of Life.
You may qualify if:
- Caretakers must be aged 18 years or older at the time of the survey Participants must be a family member or caretaker of an individual who is diagnosed with hepatobiliary cancer and is receiving care at the Methodist Cancer Center in Richardson, Texas. Diagnosis should be made within 2 years and is non-recurrent in nature. Participants must be an English speaker.
You may not qualify if:
- This study is intended to assess the burden and well-being of unpaid caretakers of hepatobiliary cancer patients. Thus, paid caretakers, such as home health aides, will be excluded from the survey.

The results of this research will be disseminated through submission to peer-reviewed scientific journals and presentation at professional conferences within but not limited to the fields of General Surgery, Hepatobiliary Surgery, and Psychiatry. Findings may also be presented at academic meetings. All study results will be reported in aggregate form. No individual participant will be identifiable in any publication, presentation, or report. If qualitative data are included, direct quotations will be de-identified and reviewed to ensure removal of potentially identifying information. Participants will not receive individual results, as the study does not involve clinical testing or diagnostic evaluation. A general summary of study findings may be made available to participants upon request.
