  • Title: Psychosocial factors in cancer.
    Author: Allen A.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1981 Feb; 23(2):197-201. PubMed ID: 7457327.
    Abstract:
    Proper attention to psychosocial factors may be important in the long-term outcome of a patient with cancer. If the physician makes the patient a partner in the treatment program, compliance problems are overcome and the patient retains a sense of importance. Communication with the patient and the patient's family is essential throughout all stages of management. The physician should treat the patient with respect, openness and empathy.
