• Psychosocial issues in cancer 

  Watson, M (INDIAN ACAD SCIENCES, 2001-09-10)

  There are many dimensions to psychosocial, issues in cancer; two of which are focused here and relate to (i) the question of whether psychological factors play any role in cancer prognosis, and (ii) the quality of triage ...
