In order for them to accept their disease, deal with their fears and doubts and improve their emotional well-being, lung cancer patients develop a great need for psychologicalsupport. The Psycho-Oncology Consultation is fundamental and will allow, with the reduction of the rates of depressive and anxiety disorders: a better perception of the disease, reduction of the necessary medication, reduction of clinical recovery time, with an increase in combativeness rates and greater adherence to therapy.
