30. What is the Aim of Psycho-Oncology?
1. Reduce distress & emotional disorders
=>Desensitization by direct intervention
2. Promote detection & treatment by cancer staff
=>Screening
3. Treat less common psychiatric disorders
=> delirium, dementia, psychosis, mania
4. Promote Quality of life
⇒ Regardless of stage, age, cancer type of prognosis
5. Do we influence survival?
=> Observations vs interventional studies
