Cancer as trauma: multidimensional determinants of PTSD across the disease course. A narrative integrative review

Cancer-related PTSD reflects the continuous interaction of psychological, socio-emotional, and medical-biological factors across the cancer journey. These findings underscore the need for culturally sensitive assessment tools and for adapting interventions to the specific demands of each phase of care. Increasing trauma-informed awareness among multidisciplinary teams can enhance early identification of at-risk patients and support patient-centered care.

Abstract

Cancer-related PTSD reflects the continuous interaction of psychological, socio-emotional, and medical-biological factors across the cancer journey. These findings underscore the need for culturally sensitive assessment tools and for adapting interventions to the specific demands of each phase of care. Increasing trauma-informed awareness among multidisciplinary teams can enhance early identification of at-risk patients and support patient-centered care.
