Psychological problems faced by cancer patients and psycho-oncology

Abstract

Considering that cancer will continue to exist in the coming years, the fact that patients diagnosed with cancer receive psychological treatments in addition to their physiological treatment will improve the healing process. There are studies on psycho-oncology or psycho-social treatment. Psycho-oncology is a new science that emerged in order to provide the treatment to psychological disorders that occur during the diagnosis period and subsequent periods of cancer. It also helps to provide the patient with a quality of life, social support from family, and an active social environment. These studies are continuing to take place. With the dissemination of this science, we will be able to observe the effects of continued studies better in the coming years.
