Abstract

Advances in cancer treatment have resulted in a rapidly growing population of more than 14 million survivors. People are living longer after cancer diagnosis. Younger patients struggle with diversions from the normal developmental milestones in career and relationships, while older patients must deal with the dual challenges of aging and cancer. Cancer's transition from likely death to potential cures and chronic illnesses that people could live with rather than die from, has increased interest in the disease's impact on psychosocial issues and quality of life, rather than just longevity. The most common psychosocial concerns in people with cancer are adjustment to a new diagnosis or recurrence or progression of disease, depression, anxiety, delirium, and many quality-of-life changes that may be due to the cancer or cancer treatments. This chapter reviews the diagnosis and management of the psychosocial stressors most often encountered by oncology treatment teams called on to address these issues when mental health caregivers are not necessarily available. Psychotherapeutic, psychopharmacologic, and behavioral and supportive interventions are discussed for people undergoing active cancer treatment, long-term survivors, cured patients, people at end of life, and oncology staff.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
