Mission and Goals
As cancer patients and survivors increase in number worldwide, patients’ psychosocial concerns and needs become increasingly relevant during the entire cancer trajectory. The aim of the Psychosocial Study Group is to make the psychosocial dimension of care, including appropriate assessment and interventions, an integral part of routine cancer care for all patients.
Study group objectives:
- To identify and involve members with a special interest in psychosocial oncology
- To support MASCC in meeting members’ needs with respect to psychosocial oncology issues
- To contribute to discussions of program content and format for the Annual Meeting
- To ensure continued adequate and high-quality psychosocial oncology content
- To solicit opinions from MASCC members with a special interest in psychosocial oncology regarding study group aims, research, and projects.
