JPOS/JASCC clinical guidelines for psychological distress in adult cancer patients: a summary of recommendations
Overview
This resource summarizes Japanese clinical guidelines for managing psychological distress in adult cancer patients, developed through systematic reviews and Delphi consensus. It outlines a care flow starting with general support, followed by specific interventions like collaborative care and psychotherapy, which have moderate to strong evidence bases. The text also addresses the weak evidence for pharmacotherapy and notes that palliative care, caregiver support, and peer support are not recommended as sole treatments for distress.
