Abstract
- Cancer patients suffer from significant psychological distress and considerable psychological morbidity throughout the course of their disease. The diagnosis of cancer, active treatment, palliative care and aftermath of cancer involve a long process of adaptation to multiple threats and stressful events. This review focused on psychosocial aspects of cancer, psychological reaction and adaptation of patients to cancer, psychological issues and psychiatric disorders in patients with cancer, and the need for screening of psychological distress at all stages of illness.
