The "Coping with Cancer Study," published in the journal Cancer, indicates that although as many as one in ten people who are being treated for advanced stages of cancer have psychological problems few receive help from mental health professionals. The vast majority of the people with advanced cancer who do have mental health problems would seek mental health services if they knew they had problems. Study researchers encourage patients with cancer to discuss their mental health with their doctors. If left untreated psychiatric disorders can affect compliance with therapy and therefore, the overall effectiveness of treatment. More information on the study can be found at Reuters Health. |
