Abstract

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for Distress Management recommend that cancer patients should be promptly treated if the patient are distressed (more than 4 DT score). Numerous interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation, and psychosocial therapy, have been shown in randomized controlled trials to be efficacious in addressing distress in patients with cancer. However, many of these interventions have a low potential for implementation as part of routine care because of their complexity, the number of resources required to deliver them, and the limited range of distress-related problems they address.
