Abstract
As new treatments and diagnostic methods are developed, oncology commands an increasingly wide range of technologies and effective procedures. Yet, in the background is the necessity to deal with an equally complex array of psychosocial problems and life-changing issues that affect patients with cancer. These problems include, to name only a few, self-image issues caused by hair loss or weight changes, the frustrating lack of mental and physical energy, the forcing of major change in lifestyle habits after a cancer diagnosis, and the necessity to spend time in healthcare spaces (1–3).
