AB - Cancer significantly affects individuals biologically,
psychologically, and socially. Treatments such as chemotherapy and surgery
often lead to physiological issues including fatigue, pain, and immune
dysfunction. Concomitantly, patients face mental health challenges such as
depression, anxiety, and emotional trauma, exacerbated by uncertainty in
disease prognosis. Despite advances in treatment, psychosocial aspects of care
are frequently overlooked. This paper synthesizes case-based evidence to
underline the importance of biopsychosocial care in oncology and calls for
integrated healthcare strategies that address all dimensions of patient
wellness.
