| Summary: | Abstract The CACA clinical guidelines for psychosocial care provide a framework and systematic recommendations for addressing psychological issues in patients with cancer, as well as for meeting the psychosocial needs of cancer patients and their families. These recommendations facilitate the integration of psychosocial care into routine clinical cancer care, enhancing holistic treatment approaches. Regular distress screening for cancer patients is recommended and should be conducted using a strategic process with an electronic platform. Specific assessment tools, medications, and non-pharmaceutical interventions are provided for common symptoms such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, fatigue, and delirium. Additionally, various evidence-based psychotherapies are recommended for patients experiencing specific psychological distress and addressing different individual needs. |
