Received Date: Jan 02, 2024 / Published Date: Jan 30, 2024
Abstract
Skeletal metastases pose a significant challenge in oncology, not only due to their physical symptoms but also because of their profound psychosocial impact on patients. This article explores the psychosocial aspects of skeletal metastases and emphasizes the importance of addressing patients’ holistic needs beyond medical treatment. Patients with skeletal metastases often experience emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and existential concerns, alongside social disruptions such as limitations in daily activities and financial strain. Addressing these psychosocial needs requires a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing psychological support, social interventions, palliative care, and survivorship planning. By recognizing and addressing the psychosocial dimensions of skeletal metastases, healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes and enhance overall well-being
