This Master?s certificate aims to provide highly specialised training in the field of psycho-oncology, one responsive to the evolution of the field of modern oncology. In current practice, cancer treatment is patient-centred and has been moving increasingly towards a multi-disciplinary approach, predicated on an understanding of the human dimension of cancer treatment. This approach serves to address the physiological and biological aspects of the disease, as well as the psychological, interpersonal, and social aspects of cancer, in order to support the patient's mental health whilst improving their quality of life.
