Approximately every third patient in urology is a tumor patient. In uro-oncology, it is mostly older men with prostate cancer who have not learned to talk about their feelings. But younger men also suffer, especially from accompanying sexual dysfunctions. In this practice book, the basics of psychosocial uro-oncology are explained, as well as diagnostics and therapy. It describes the peculiarities of the male patient group, briefly presents the most important tumor entities and also focuses on psychological comorbidities. Patient fears become intense, e.g. B. fear of progression, sexuality, death and you will receive numerous tips on how to talk to patients and offer help.
The book is based on the technical expertise of a renowned team of authors and reflects the current state of science. There are many references and explanations to the S3 guideline “Psycho-oncological diagnostics, counseling and treatment of adult cancer patients”.
For urologists, oncologists, psychotherapists and every doctor who treats urological tumor patients and uses this valuable component in cancer therapy professionally – for a better quality of life for the patient.
