The present narrative review aims to discuss cognitive-emotional-behavioral symptoms in adults with brain tumors at the time of diagnosis.
The PubMed database was searched considering glioma, pituitary adenoma, and meningioma in adulthood as pathologies, together with cognitive, neuropsychological, or behavioral aspects.
Although a significant number of studies describe cognitive impairment after surgery or treatment in adults with brain tumors, only few focus on cognitive-emotional-behavioral symptoms at diagnosis. Furthermore, the importance of an effective communication and its impact on patients' quality of life and compliance with treatment are seldom discussed.
Adults with brain tumors have needs in terms of cognitive-emotional-behavioral features that are detectable at the time of diagnosis; more research is needed to identify effective communication protocols in order to allow a higher perceived quality of life in these patients.
本叙述性综述旨在探讨脑肿瘤成年患者在诊断时的认知-情绪-行为症状。
在PubMed数据库中进行检索，将成年期的胶质瘤、垂体腺瘤和脑膜瘤视为疾病，并纳入认知、神经心理学或行为方面的内容。
尽管大量研究描述了脑肿瘤成年患者术后或治疗后的认知障碍，但只有少数研究关注诊断时的认知-情绪-行为症状。此外，很少有人讨论有效沟通的重要性及其对患者生活质量和治疗依从性的影响。
脑肿瘤成年患者在诊断时具有可检测到的认知-情绪-行为特征方面的需求；需要更多研究来确定有效的沟通方案，以使这些患者的生活质量得到更高的感知。
