All patients with
cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the
provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. This guide recommends ten
actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health
insurers, health plans, quality oversight organizations, researchers and
research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this
standard is met.
