Abstract

 The word cancer, abbreviated ca, is a term that frightens most people. The word neoplasm is derived from the Greek word which means new, and plasma which means growth of new tissue (molding). Previously cancer was considered as a non treatable disease and having very painful experiences throughout the disease. There is need of concentrating on psychological aspect of cancer patient’s health along with treating disease process. Health care professionals at Out Patients Department as well as in oncology ward often forget to discover psychological changes while dealing with treatment and chemotherapy care. There is need for psychological assessment right from the diagnosis till the patient recovers and leads happy life. This article is simple review on Psychological Aspect of Cancer patients.
