Post a Comment The challenges of psycho-oncology research in developing countries: A non-equivalent process of growth
Abstract - 381 PDF - 129Abstract
In summary, most psycho-oncology research comes from resource-rich settings and, therefore, some results might be very different in developing countries if we acknowledge that they have specific and unique features. Consequently, research from developing countries is highly necessary and needs to be supported to advance this knowledge and to favour a better understanding of the specific realities of cancer patients and their families in those countries.
