DISTRESS IN CANCER POPULATION: AN
INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Patients faced and fighting with a cancer diagnosis are facing multiple dis-
tressing factors that could adversely affect compliance with medical care
and the outcomes of cancer therapy and even the overall survival. City of Hope
has developed a screening tool named Support Screen that identifies biopsy-
chosocial problems related distress and facilitates patient, physician and
multi-specialist communication. This presentation will share with the audi-
ence the data collected in our institution regarding various distressing factors
(emotional, communication, social, physical, spiritual, etc.) to our general can-
cer population and to various cancer diagnosis groups (GI, Breast, Lung, etc.).
