Psycho-Oncology as a Tool of Palliative Care in Cancer: A Systematic Review
Abstract
The field of cancer treatment and palliative care has demonstrated the interdependence of psychological factors. While discussing palliative care, the focus has typically been on the patient and family as they receive treatment for life-threatening illnesses like cancer. In this paper, the significant relationship between the dynamic psychological risk factors for cancer and psycho-oncology is discussed in detail. Applying the necessary knowledge and skills, psycho-oncology has proven beneficial in treating morbidity and identifying risk factors. The past relevant review papers related to the topic were investigated. Certain factors are considered to be accountable, including low social support, death anxiety, depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Since it is becoming more widely acknowledged that behavioral, social, and psychological factors affect how well a treatment works, psycho-oncology shows benefits in palliative care. Important statistics and data analysis from previously researched papers show the validity and necessity of this research in the Cancer field.
