The number of cancer survivors grows, the scope of care broads from treating the disease alone to managing cancer-related symptoms, including comorbid mental health disorders. Many cancer patients have delirium, this is often fatal problem. The review presents the data about epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical-diagnostic and treatment aspects.
According to latest estimates of the global cancer burden, in 2022 there were 20 million new cancer cases. As a result of the demographic development, their prevalence is expected to double during the next 10 years. Cancer is a leading cause of death. It accounted for nearly ten million deaths worldwide (around 15% of all deaths) in 2020 (72.5% more than in 1990). For patients, caregivers, and families, going through cancer can be a devastating experience with many stresses and emotional upheavals. Because cancer is potentially life-threatening, the psychological impact of its diagnosis on patients has been an important aspect of clinical oncology.

Improving the quality of care requires recognition and addressing patients’ distress, mental disorders and supportive care needs during treatment and after care. Thus, psychosocial and psycho-oncological support services considerably contribute to improving the quality of life of patients as a central outcome criterion of oncological care. It is clear that a more personalized approach to supporting the psychological health of people with cancer is needed. Some people may not want or require support or treatment, others will be able to self-manage, and some may have more complex needs that require more intensive follow-up and support. At diagnosis, the psychological health of patients should be considered alongside their physical health and sources of support offered. Needs and symptoms may also change over time. Being mentally aware is a preference reiterated by seriously ill patients.
