Proper attention to psychosocial factors may be important in the long-term outcome of a patient with cancer. If the physician makes the patient a partner in the treatment program, compliance problems are overcome and the patient retains a sense of importance. Communication with the patient and the patient's family is essential throughout all stages of management. The physician should treat the patient with respect, openness and empathy.
