Toutes les personnes touchées par le cancer ont de multiples besoins. L’oncologie psychosociale s’intéresse plus spécifiquement aux besoins psychologiques, sociaux et spirituels. L’expérience du cancer et de sa trajectoire de soins entraîne souvent une fluctuation et une évolution des besoins des personnes malades et de leurs proches. Tantôt, ces besoins seront de base et les professionnels médicaux des équipes en oncologie pourront y répondre; tantôt, ils seront reliés à une détresse plus prononcée où l’évaluation et l’intervention de professionnels psychosociaux seront nécessaires [...] 2, record 1, French, - oncologie%20psychosociale
