Study: NCT06443268

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: questionnaire, hair samples, blood samples, clinical exam
Description: The following parameters will be sequentially assessed in caregivers and patients (baseline, at 3 months and at 12 months): 1) quality of life / functioning will be determined through questionnaires (SF-36, EQ-5DL, ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) / Karnofsky, Barthel Index, ICIQ) 2) stress levels \& anxiety levels, caregiver burden will be assessed by the following questionnaires: Distress Thermometer, SBQ-G, GAD-7, PHQ-9, PSS-10, ZBI, PAC.

Fasting glucose, lipid profiles and HbA1c along with blood count, sodium, potassium, creatinine, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) will be measured in routine blood samples from patients at the time of clinical checkups.
