“…Certified cancer centers documented an uptake rate of 37.3% [10], compared to 32.5% estimated by a survey of acute care hospitals, mostly certified cancer centers, in breast cancer [11] and 11% in a large non-certified cancer center [12]. A populationbased study with long-term survivors of breast cancer reported that 16% had received ambulatory psychotherapy or psychosocial counselling [13].…”

“…However, 30% to 50% of those with elevated distress express a desire for professional help [5][6][7][8], and even fewer may actually utilize professional support, with 20% to 30% of distressed cancer patients supposed to accept a support offer [2,9]. Few studies in Germany have estimated the proportion of cancer patients utilizing psychological care, either based on institutional reports [10][11][12] or patients' self-reports [13,14] from selected populations. However, to our knowledge, no study so far explored services use in relation to the occurrence of emotional distress and mental disorders assessed by both self-reports and structured interviews in patients across all major tumor entities and treatment settings.…”

Supportive care needs of family members of cancer patients are often overlooked within psychosocial care. A screening measure was sent to 132 family members and 362 cancer patients (response rate > 95 %) after telephone registration at a specialized outpatient clinic for psycho-oncology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. The majority of participants was informed about the outpatient clinic for psycho-oncology through advice by third parties. More than 90 % of family members and cancer patients show high levels of distress; 49 % of family members and 59 % of patients had moderate to high levels of depression; 58 % of family members and 61 % of patients had moderate to high levels of anxiety. No gender differences were observed in both groups. Most frequent supportive care needs in both groups refer to fear of recurrence, dealing with uncertainty, sadness and keeping a positive outlook. Our findings emphasize the need for specific psycho-oncological interventions.

Purpose The aim of this study was to identify at what time patients with cancer and their relatives want to be informed about and receive psychosocial counselling. Methods In a multi‐centre prospective study, both users and non‐users of psychosocial cancer counselling were asked to participate in a qualitative interview about their preferences for psychosocial counselling. A second interview was scheduled 3–6 months thereafter. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded according to content analysis. Results Altogether, 61 patients and 42 relatives participated, resulting in 183 interviews (103 at t1, 80 at t2). Most often, the optimal time‐point for cancer counselling was defined by the participants according to the treatment trajectory, and the most frequently mentioned preferred time‐point was ‘as early as possible’: at the time of cancer diagnosis (mentioned in 22% of interviews with men and 10% of interviews with women). In particular, men also said that they wanted psychosocial counselling while waiting for test results (5%), at the point of returning to work and/or when under the threat of unemployment (3%). Women especially preferred this support during therapy (4%) and ‘when one has the capacity for it’ (4%), in terms of time and emotional capacity. Conclusions Healthcare providers should inform their cancer patients and the relatives about the possibilities of professional psychosocial support early on in the disease trajectory (i.e. at the time of diagnosis) and repeatedly thereafter, especially in times of uncertainty, while ensuring the patients’ capacity to process information at each time‐point is taken into consideration.
