Rapidly advancing cancer research has led to improved modes of treatment and care for cancer patients’ overall well-being. In order to ensure an improved patient outcome, health care providers should be aware of advancements made in treatment and care, as well as the psychological concerns of cancer patients.
The 18th annual Nixon Lectureship: Meaning-centered Psychotherapy will focus on improving psychological well-being in patients and families facing cancer. Registration is open for the Sept. 23 event.
Providers should be able to assess and provide meaning-centered psychotherapy options that will help alleviate cancer patients’ depression, hopelessness and anxiety, while enhancing their spiritual well-being and quality of life.
In addition to health care providers, cancer patients and their families may benefit from attending the lecture.
