Summary

This study tests whether a teleconsultation with a specially trained nurse can reduce psychological distress in adults recently diagnosed with a primary brain tumor. 58 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either usual care or usual care plus one nurse-led video call before their first cancer treatment. The goal is to see if the extra support improves distress, anxiety, and quality of life scores.
