Abstract:

According to the results of epidemiological studies, somatogenic, psychogenic or mental disorders occur in almost half of tumor patients. Such combined forms of diseases require a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment with the participation of an oncologist, a psychiatrist, and a psychotherapist. In practice, the consultation of a psychiatrist in an oncology clinic is aimed at providing emergency care to patients with specific mental disorders - it is aimed at preventing somatogenic, reactive effects. Borderline disorders are often underdiagnosed and require individual attention.
