Abstract
Psychiatric aspects of cancer are increasingly being considered important. Emotional and behavioral consequences are common phenomena in patients with cancer and family members. Anxiety, depressive features, delirious behavior, pain and somatic symptoms (fatigue) are encountered during the treatment of cancer. Lifestyle changes have been considered as important aspect to reduce the risk of cancer. Managing emotional issues are integral part of palliative care of a patient with cancer.
