What is the Aim of Psycho-Oncology?What is the Aim of Psycho-Oncology?

1. Reduce distress & emotional disorders =>Desensitization by direct intervention

2. Promote detection & treatment by cancer staff=>Screening

3. Treat less common psychiatric disorders=> delirium, dementia, psychosis, mania

4. Promote Quality of life⇒ Regardless of stage, age, cancer type of prognosis

5. Do we influence survival?=> Observations vs interventional studies
