Abstract

Cancer remains one of the most prevalent diseases, with a high mortality rate, despite advancements in technology and science. Patients diagnosed with cancer typically undergo a traumatic experience, enduring both mental anguish and physical exhaustion. Psychosocial distress is common among cancer patients and can have a detrimental effect on their overall quality of life. Therefore, it is crucial for oncology healthcare professionals to promptly evaluate psychosocial distress in cancer patients to improve their care and well-being. This review provides a concise overview of the extensive literature on the epidemiology of various psychosocial disorders affecting cancer patients, including associated distress and burdens, encountered challenges, pain symptoms, and potential evidence-based interventions or mandates in cancer care. Enhancing patient-doctor communication and providing individualized care to the body and mind are necessary.
