Rak je ena izmed najbolj razširjenih bolezni po svetu, prav tako pa predstavlja enega od najpogostejših vzrokov za smrt. Ob diagnozi takšnega obolenja ni pomemben samo klinični vidik, moramo se osredotočiti tudi na psihosocialne potrebe s katerimi se soočajo bolniki. Le-te so ob postavitvi diagnoze, med in po zdravljenju največkrat spregledane, kar lahko vpliva na kakovost življenja bolnika na težjo pot do ozdravitve.Cancer is one of the most spread diseases around the world and it presents one of the most common causes of death.
