The way in which news about a cancer diagnosis or recurrence is broken can have a profound effect on the patient's psychological wellbeing. When the information given is perceived by the patient as too much to too little and resultant concerns remain undisclosed and unresolved there is a high risk that the patient will develop clinical anxiety and/or depression. Guidelines are provided, therefore, to help them appropriately. Strategies are also suggested which will allow the patient's concerns to be elicited in an efficient but caring manner.
告知癌症诊断或复发消息的方式可能会对患者的心理健康产生深远影响。当患者认为所提供的信息过多或过少，而由此产生的担忧仍未得到披露和解决时，患者很有可能会出现临床焦虑和/或抑郁。因此，提供了相关指南以帮助他们妥善应对。还提出了一些策略，这些策略能够以高效且体贴的方式引出患者的担忧。
