An examination of the psychological well-being of patients undergoing oncological treatments

Abstract

Cancer remains one of the critical diseases severely impacting the quality of life globally. Patients typically endure both physical and psychological challenges upon diagnosis. They are often faced with the decision of whether to accept the oncological treatment plans proposed by their physicians. The potential psychological changes in patients post-treatment pose a new challenge. This study aims to analyze the impact of various cancer treatment modalities on patients mental health, providing a comprehensive analysis. Utilizing comparative and summary methods, this paper evaluates the impact of different treatment approaches on the psychological state of patients. Patients with cancer commonly experience negative emotions prior to receiving treatment, leading to persistent states of anxiety and depression post-treatment. Proactive psychological interventions are recommended for implementation both before and after cancer treatment. These interventions can effectively alleviate the psychological distress and anxiety experienced by patients.
