Psycho-oncology is defined by psychosocial aspects of prevention, etiology, diagnostics, treatment, and rehabilitation of cancer. It is characterized by interdisciplinary medicine, as well as cooperation between medical and nonmedical professionals. Psychosocial distress and/or psychiatric disorders are manifested in 30-60% of cancer patients. The primary target of psycho-oncological management is to retain and ideally optimize the subjective quality of life of cancer patients. It is important to understand that psycho-oncological care is part of an integrative oncological patient management. Basic psycho-oncological management is usually provided by the primary oncologist, whereas more specific psycho-oncological measures call for specially trained psychiatric/psychotherapeutic staff. Psycho-oncological interventions include psychological/psychotherapeutic, as well as psychopharmacologic interventions.
心理肿瘤学的定义涵盖癌症预防、病因、诊断、治疗及康复过程中的社会心理层面。其特点是跨学科医学，以及医学和非医学专业人员之间的合作。30%至60%的癌症患者会出现社会心理困扰和/或精神障碍。心理肿瘤学管理的主要目标是维持并理想地优化癌症患者的主观生活质量。必须明白，心理肿瘤学护理是综合肿瘤患者管理的一部分。基本的心理肿瘤学管理通常由初级肿瘤学家提供，而更具体的心理肿瘤学措施则需要经过专门培训的精神科/心理治疗人员。心理肿瘤学干预包括心理/心理治疗干预以及心理药物干预。
