ABSTRACT

In this study, we analyzed the main psychological and psychosocial issues of cancer, namely emotional distress, body image, sexual functioning, interpersonal relationships, cognitive functioning, cancer-related fatigue, and posttraumatic growth. For each aspect, we supply definition and prevalence data. We also investigated potential moderators and mediators, and here we discuss assessment instruments updated reviews and refer to recent international literature. In conclusion, we discuss the clinical and research implications of a "comprehensive" care approach to cancer patients.
