Overview

Psychosocial care is critical to supporting the adjustment, coping, and quality of life of children and families from the time of diagnosis, throughout treatment, and into survivorship or through end-of-life care and bereavement. Now a standard of care in pediatric oncology, psychosocial support is considered essential for all children and families. Interprofessional team members collaborate on assessment, intervention, education, and research to advance the science and practice of pediatric psycho-oncology. This Special Issue in Cancers highlights ""Advances in Pediatric and Adolescent Psycho-Oncology,"" including, but not limited to, studies focusing on social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes of childhood cancer; quality of life during active treatment, transition off treatment, or during survivorship; palliative care, end-of-life care, and bereavement; and psychosocial interventions for patients and families (e.g., caregivers, siblings). This Special Issue includes manuscripts that elevate patient and family voices and provide new insights in the field of pediatric and adolescent psycho-oncology.
