It attempts to identify factors such as psychological, social, and emotional domains that could hinder their overall well-being and response to treatment.

In the early stages of their therapy, brain cancer patients have their anxiety levels, depression levels, quality of life, social support, and coping strategies evaluated. The analysis was conducted by using SPSS software, incorporating descriptive statistics, the t-tests for independent samples and multiple linear regressions to evaluate demographic differences and predictors of psychosocial outcomes.

Conclusion: The results demonstrate the significance of focused intervention strategies to deal with these problems and enhance patient outcomes, which are neutral such as anxiety level- 50%, depression level-40%, quality of life-45%, social support-50% and coping strategies – 55%. The research emphasizes the significant psychological difficulties that patients with brain tumors face during early stages of their therapy.
