The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer is working with partners to develop and promote education about psychosocial and supportive care issues among health-care providers.
Psychosocial oncology is a specialty in cancer care concerned with understanding and treating the social, psychological, emotional, spiritual, quality-of-life and functional aspects of cancer, from prevention through bereavement. It is a whole-person approach to cancer care that addresses a range of very human needs that can improve quality of life for people affected by cancer. – Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology
