Caregivers of people with cancer represent a large, overburdened, and under-recognized part of the cancer care workforce. Research efforts to address the unmet needs of these caregivers are expanding with studies focused on caregivers' skill sets, physical and psychological health, and integration into healthcare delivery. As this field of research continues to expand, integrating caregivers' input is vital to studies to ensure that research aligns with their experiences.
