In summary, the manner in which an individual and his or her family and friends adapt to the diagnosis of cancer is quite individual and complicated, and depends on a number of factors. It is important that patients realize that they should acknowledge their feelings to their physicians, family and friends so that these feelings can be validated. In this way they can be helped to find resources to enhance their coping abilities. There are many support groups that are now available for patients in various areas of cancer treatment. Efforts are underway to bring more of these issues to light in medical training so that physicians may be better prepared to strengthen a person's ability to cope with cancer and to live to the fullest extent possible.
总之，个人及其家人和朋友适应癌症诊断的方式非常因人而异且复杂，取决于多种因素。患者意识到应该向医生、家人和朋友承认自己的感受，以便这些感受能够得到认可，这一点很重要。通过这种方式，可以帮助他们找到资源来增强应对能力。现在在癌症治疗的各个领域都有许多为患者提供的支持小组。正在努力在医学培训中让更多此类问题得到关注，以便医生能更好地准备好增强人们应对癌症的能力，并尽可能充分地生活。
