Emotional concerns and coping strategies in Low Grade Glioma patients and reliability of their caregivers in reporting these concerns: Findings from a cross-sectional study

Patients suffer from depression and greater state anxiety as compared to trait anxiety; moreover, they enact less than half of the available coping strategies. Caregivers may be involved as surrogate informants when necessary for health-care professionals to detect depression while more caution is advised for what concerns anxiety and the coping strategies enacted by patients.
