Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This review examines psychological interventions for cancer patients, noting that cognitive behavioral therapy remains a gold standard while evidence for mindfulness-based approaches is questioned. It highlights emerging but less robust data for acceptance and commitment therapy, meta-cognitive therapy, dignity therapy, coaching, counseling, support-based, and narrative therapies. The authors conclude that fully powered, head-to-head comparison trials are needed to determine which interventions work best for specific cancer groups and outcomes.
