Psycho-oncology is a specialized interdisciplinary field at the intersection of psychology, oncology, and healthcare. While oncology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and medical management of cancer, psycho-oncology addresses the emotional, psychological, social, and behavioural dimensions of cancer, significantly impacting the well-being of both patients and their families.
Cancer affects more than just the physical health of the patient—it places immense emotional and psychological stress on everyone involved, including family members, caregivers, and even medical professionals. The journey through cancer, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond, presents numerous mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, fear, and uncertainty about the future. The emotional toll can be profound, affecting relationships, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.
Psycho-oncology aims to provide holistic care by integrating psychological support with cancer treatment. This branch of psychology plays a crucial role in improving quality of life by offering counselling, mental health support, and coping strategies for patients, family members, caregivers, and healthcare providers. Through individual and group therapy, psycho-oncologists address a wide range of issues, such as emotional resilience, stress management, grief, and the psychosocial impacts of cancer treatments.
In addition to direct psychological support, psycho-oncology also focuses on empowering families and caregivers to navigate their emotional struggles, fostering a supportive environment that can positively influence patient outcomes. By enhancing communication between patients and their medical teams, psycho-oncology helps ensure that the emotional and mental health needs of all parties are addressed throughout the cancer care continuum.
Whether working with patients undergoing active treatment, those in remission, or individuals facing end-of-life decisions, psycho-oncology offers a compassionate approach to easing the psychological burden of cancer.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Psycho-Oncology at the Texas School of Mental Health, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, is designed for healthcare and mental health professionals who seek to deepen their expertise in addressing the psychological, emotional, and social aspects of cancer care. This specialized program aims to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of psycho-oncology, enabling them to effectively support individuals affected by cancer throughout their journey—from diagnosis to treatment, recovery, and palliative care.
The course is structured to provide an immersive and multidisciplinary learning experience, drawing from the expertise of a distinguished academic panel and faculty members. These experts come from diverse fields including oncology, psychiatry, psychology, social work, and academia, along with valuable insights from cancer survivors. This ensures that participants receive well-rounded instruction grounded in both theory and practical experience.

Oncology is the study and treatment of Cancer. Psycho-oncology is a super speciality branch of Psychology that deals with physical, emotional, psycho-social & behavioral aspects of cancer to improve the Quality of life. Psycho-oncology deals with mental health aspects of cancer associated with individuals with cancer, family members & loved ones, caregivers, volunteers & medical professionals.
Cancer is not merely a physical disease but also a mental health
issue. It is not only restricted to individuals with cancer but also
affects the family members. India reported over 14.13 lakh new cases
of cancer and 9.16 lakh deaths in the year 2022. India is a country
with 1.5 billion lives, where every 9th person will face the
daunting diagnosis of cancer in their lifetime, amounting to more
than 12 crore people.
Cancer overwhelms the family members by creating complex emotions
and lifestyle changes so we can say approximately four more people
from the family will be indirectly affected by this news. This
brings us to the daunting figure of 60 Cr people who would need
psycho-oncology services in the near future. What's the situation on
the ground? We have 1 oncologist behind approx 2000 patients and 7
psychologists behind 1 Cr population … If You think this is a bad
situation then let's not get into how many psycho-oncologists we
have .. they are almost non-existent!
A psycho-oncologist supports cancer patients, families, and caregivers by addressing the psychological and emotional impact of the disease. They offer counseling, coping strategies, and emotional support to help patients manage anxiety, depression, and uncertainty associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, they facilitate communication among patients, families, and healthcare providers, improving understanding and decision-making. Psycho-oncologists focus on enhancing quality of life by addressing pain, fatigue, and other symptoms, while also providing support for end-of-life care and bereavement. Their role complements medical treatment, aiming to improve overall well-being and resilience throughout the cancer journey for patients and their support networks.
The Texas School of Mental Health In association with the Indian Institute of Technology–Hyderabad, has developed a Post Graduate Diploma Program in Psycho-Oncology. This program has been crafted through the collaborative efforts of an Academic Panel and Faculty Members specializing in fields such as Oncology, Psychiatry, Psychology, Social Work, Academia, and individuals who have experienced cancer. Delivered in a hybrid format, the program encompasses a comprehensive understanding of Oncology, real-time case studies, demonstrations of expert counseling, and in-depth explanations provided by professionals. The curriculum is further enhanced by a substantial internship component and a concluding week of residential learning.

is grappling with cancer, indicating that there are over 100 million
people in the country who are affected by this disease. Moreover,
for every single person living with cancer, there are at least four
individuals, including family members and loved ones, who experience
mental distress. Consequently, this amounts to a substantial demand,
with an estimated 500 million people in India being mentally
impacted by cancer collectively.
Even under the assumption that one psycho-oncologist is required for
every 100,000 individuals, the need for a minimum of 50,000
psycho-oncologists becomes evident, given the demand from a
population of 500 million.
In the role of a psycho-oncologist, employment opportunities can be
found within cancer hospitals or medical facilities dedicated to
cancer care.

department (OPD) services as a Psycho-Oncologist.
