Description

The goal of behavioral oncology is to understand and explain the role and impact of behaviors at all phases in the cancer trajectory - from prevention and detection to diagnosis and early treatment, to survivorship, recurrence, and/or death. Each chapter includes summaries of recent research on cancer-related behavioral interventions, discussions of the studies summarized, and suggestions for future research. The book is a product of collaboration among members of the Behavioral Cooperative Oncology Group of the Mary Margaret Walther Program for Cancer Care Research at the Walther Cancer Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Introduction - the state of the knowledge of behavioural intervention research in cancer care; cancer prevention through physical activity; cancer screening; smoking cessation in cancer patients - never too late to quit; decision aids for cancer-related behavioural choices; psychological interventions for cancer patients; the PRO-SELF programme - a self-care intervention programme; cancer-related fatigue; pain management; complementary and alternative therapy interventions used by cancer patients; family caregiving interventions in cancer care; interventions at the end of life; conclusion - the future of behavioural intervention research in cancer care.
