Psycho-Oncology: A Quick Reference on the Psychosocial Dimensions of Cancer Symptom Management, 2nd Edition, is a clinical handbook that outlines best practice models for addressing the cognitive, psychological, and social needs of adult cancer patients and their families.
The volume addresses core areas of supportive care, including clinical screening tools, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, and physical symptom management such as pain. It also examines psychiatric conditions and practical communication strategies that arise during treatment.
Designed to assist oncologists and nurses, this reference helps practitioners determine appropriate situations for referring patients to mental health specialists. It also guides clinical teams seeking to establish or incorporate psychosocial components into existing cancer clinics.
