Approximately 3.5% of the population has experienced a cancer diagnosis, with an estimated 14.5 million cancer survivors. These figures increase if you expand the criteria to include those whose lives have been touched by the disease (e.g., family, friends, caregivers). While everyone has a unique response to a cancer experience, there are common stressors associated with each of the four stages on the cancer continuum: Pre-diagnosis; Diagnosis; Active Treatment; and Post-treatment including both Initial Re-entry and Longer-Term Survivorship. Course material reviews the psychological demands associated with each of the four phases with a focus on assessment and diagnosis of psychological disorders among cancer patients (i.e., Adjustment Disorder, Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). In addition, an overview of relevant evidence-based psychological interventions is provided. The information provided will enable mental healthcare providers and allied health professionals to meet each patient at the proper clinical juncture and to make effective plans for treatment to enhance psychological adjustment to cancer.
