Synopsis

Psycho-social oncology has made significant progress in understanding the impact of cancer and it's treatment on people's lives, and this book underlines the fact that psycho-social care is an integral part of the treatment of cancer. The book is designed to be a practical guide for professionals caring for adult cancer patients, yet also explores the unique challenges that cancer presents to patients. The text underlines the need for adjustment and the minimisation of distress, and uses the experiences of patients and clinical research to find the optimum method of achieving this.
