Mental health for cancer patients is a critical, complementary component of recovery
Cancer imposes not only physical but profound mental health challenges on patients, affecting their journey to recovery. Despite the critical role of mental health support in the holistic treatment of cancer, patients frequently encounter a landscape where psychological care is underprioritized, underfunded, and inconsistently integrated into cancer treatment programs. This oversight leads to a significant gap in care, leaving many patients to navigate the emotional, psychological, and social repercussions of cancer with insufficient support. The disparity in access to mental health services exacerbates the situation, particularly for those in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities, who face additional barriers such as cost, stigma, and lack of tailored services.
