Preferred term
family coping with cancer
Definition
- The diagnosis and treatment of cancer has immense emotional and practical repercussions for the entire family as well as for the patient. Although the medical community has long treated cancer as a “family disease,” the psychological implications of cancer on families have only begun to receive empirical attention during the past two decades.
