Psycho-social care of patients with cancer is an integral part of modern oncology. Psychological care includes emotional support and care at the point of diagnosis, during cancer treatment, and after treatment is completed. There is the occasional need for comprehensive psychiatric assessment and medications to help with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Family members may also need help. Our team has worked over the past decade on various aspects of psycho-oncology.
Some patients with cancer are upset with the changes in their appearance. You may feel the pain felt by some of our patients from the short film created by Ms Rhea Daruvala based on a letter written by a patient to her oncologist.
