EDISCIENCES

ABSTRACT

Cancer is not solely a biological disease, it is a multidimensional condition with profound psychological, behavioral, and existential consequences. From diagnosis onward, patients are exposed to sustained uncertainty, threat, and disruption that extend well beyond the tumor itself. Although advances in oncology have significantly improved survival, progress in addressing the emotional and psychosocial dimensions of cancer has been uneven. As a result, survivorship and rehabilitation outcomes remain suboptimal for many patients.
