Cancer diagnosis, treatment, and follow up take a toll on both your mind and body.
Cancer is a complex disease that has psychological, social, financial, and behavioral impacts that can interfere with treatment and effect outcomes. Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center extends its cancer care beyond the medical and surgical realms to involve lifestyle, social, and emotional aspects of our patients, caregivers, and families.
Our Behavioral Oncology Clinic serves patients diagnosed with cancer in need of psychological care due to adjustment difficulties, depression, anxiety, or other psychosocial stressors. The clinic has a medical branch and a psychological branch to offer the full range of pharmacological and behavioral treatments for emotional stress.
