摘要：

One hundred patients with advanced cancer referred to a palliative care service were evaluated for psychosocial distress using a standard questionnaire. A high incidence of emotional upset, financial distress, and home-care problems was found. Psychosocial distress is common among patients (and their families) with advanced cancer and may have a significant impact on provision of optimal care. Community services are often inadequate. A dedicated palliative care service employing a multidisciplinary approach can best provide care. We make specific recommendations about how to combat psychosocial distress using specific administrative and management techniques.
