Psychiatric and psychosocial implications in cancer care: the agenda of psycho-oncology.
Epidemiology and psychiatric sciences, 2020Co-Authors: Luigi GrassiAbstract:Because of the increasing global cancer burden and the WHO epidemiological estimation in terms of number of new cases, deaths and long-survivors worldwide, an interdisciplinary approach, including psychiatric and psychoncology care is mandatory in oncology. About 50% of cancer patients have in fact been shown to have psychiatric disorders, including clinically significant emotional distress and/or unrecognised or untreated psychosocial conditions as a consequence of cancer at some point during the cancer trajectory. These problems are associated with the patient's reduction of quality of life, impairment in social relationships, longer rehabilitation time, poor adherence to treatment and abnormal illness behaviour. Because of these reasons, the internationally recognised IPOS Standards of Quality Cancer Care underline that psychosocial cancer care should be recognised as a Universal Human Right; that quality cancer care must integrate the psychosocial domain into routine care and that distress should be measured as the sixth vital sign after temperature, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate and pain. In spite of social inequalities still existing between countries in the organisation and implementation of psychosocial oncology, recommendations and guidelines are available regarding screening, assessment and intervention to psychiatric and psychosocial disorders across the trajectory of cancer. The clinical and political agenda of psychoncology as a mandatory component of a whole comprehensive person-centred approach to cancer should therefore be acknowledged in psychiatry.

2015 President's Plenary International Psycho‐oncology Society: psychosocial care as a Human Rights issue—challenges and opportunities
Psycho-oncology, 2016Co-Authors: Luzia Travado, William Breitbart, Luigi Grassi, Daisuke Fujisawa, Andrea Farkas Patenaude, Lea Baider, Stephen Connor, Michelle Cororve FingeretAbstract:The International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) Human Rights Task Force has been working since 2008 to raise awareness and support, for the relevance of psychosocial cancer care as a Human Rights issue. In 2014 the "Lisbon Declaration: Psychosocial Cancer Care as a Universal Human Right" was fully endorsed by IPOS. Subsequently, the IPOS Standard on Quality Cancer Care, endorsed by 75 cancer organizations worldwide, has been updated and now includes 3 core principles: Psychosocial cancer care should be recognised as a Universal Human Right; Quality cancer care must integrate the psychosocial domain into routine care; Distress should be measured as the 6th vital sign. The President's plenary held at the 2015 World Congress of Psycho-Oncology in Washington DC was devoted to discussing psychosocial care as a Human Rights issue. Many challenges and opportunities are illustrated in different continents and contexts: from Africa where resources for basic cancer treatment are scarce and children and their parents face significant difficulties with hospital detention practices; to Europe where for many countries psychosocial care is still seen as a luxury; and the Middle East where Muslim women face stigma and a culture of silence over cancer. We further discuss how to move the Lisbon Declaration forward towards its implementation into clinical practice globally, using the successful example of the World Health Assembly resolution supporting palliative care as a Human Right which has achieved widespread approval, and identifying the vital role the IPOS Federation of National Psychoncology Societies plays worldwide to move this agenda forward.

Disclosing disorders of sex development and opening the doors.
Sexual development : genetics molecular biology evolution endocrinology embryology and pathology of sex determination and differentiation, 2010Co-Authors: F. D’albertonAbstract:This paper focuses on the importance of full disclosure in disorders of sex development (DSD), as a Universal Human Right and closely related to informed consent. Full disclosure is not only a way of communicating a diagnosis, it is a methodological constant that permeates all the clinical moments expressed by a multidisciplinary team. As stated by The Chicago consensus, DSD should be referred to specialized centers of excellence. In these centers provided with the necessary multidisciplinary team that is able to: provide knowledge, skills and experience; deliver quality and care, and cope with the emotional barriers that often hinder the practice of full disclosure. Full disclosure is important when a person is informed about something, can participate in making a decision or is advised about something that needs to be done before he/she will be able to make a choice. However, if a person is informed about something that was done unnecessarily and could have been postponed until he/she could have been involved in making the decision, full disclosure can be seen as deception colored by rage, sorrow and regret.
