The Oncologist-Cancer Patient Relationship and Emotions
Abstract
Although there may be different theoretical frameworks for cancer care, this research should focus both on theory and on the ways or methods by which knowledge is generated, and thus, methodologies that allow for understanding emotions and relationships should be used. In summary, in a specialized clinical context like oncology, the patient needs to understand what "cancer" is, along with what it means to "have cancer." This involves changing their lifestyle and quality of life, attending regular checkups, and receiving treatments that are either long and invasive or short and less invasive, depending on the stage of the disease.
