Abstract

Purpose of review: This review discusses the psychosocial impact of thyroid cancer diagnosis and management. It summarizes recent findings, presents management options, and briefly discusses future directions.

Recent findings: A thyroid cancer diagnosis and its downstream management can impact patients in a variety of ways, including contributing to distress, worry, worse quality of life, and in some cases, anxiety and depression. Racial/ethnic minorities, those with lower education, women, adolescents/young adults, and individuals with a prior mental health conditions are a few of the patient groups at greater risks for adverse psychosocial effects from their thyroid cancer diagnosis and management. Findings are mixed, but some studies suggest treatment, for example, more intensive treatment as opposed to less, may be associated with a greater psychosocial impact. Clinicians providing care to thyroid cancer patients use a variety of resources and techniques, some more effective than others, to provide support.

Summary: A thyroid cancer diagnosis and its subsequent treatment can greatly impact a patient's psychosocial wellbeing, particularly for at-risk groups. Clinicians can help their patients by informing them of the risks associated with treatments and by offering education and resources for psychosocial support.

甲状腺癌症的心理社会影响。

综述目的：本综述讨论了甲状腺癌症诊断和治疗的社会心理影响。它总结了最近的发现，提出了管理选择，并简要讨论了未来的方向。最近的发现：癌症的诊断及其下游管理可以以多种方式影响患者，包括导致痛苦、担忧、生活质量恶化，在某些情况下还会导致焦虑和抑郁。少数种族/少数民族、受教育程度较低的人、妇女、青少年/年轻人以及有心理健康病史的人是甲状腺癌症诊断和治疗产生不良心理社会影响的风险较大的少数患者群体。研究结果喜忧参半，但一些研究表明，治疗，例如，更密集的治疗，而不是更少的治疗，可能会产生更大的心理社会影响。为癌症甲状腺患者提供护理的临床医生使用各种资源和技术来提供支持，其中一些资源和技术比其他资源和技术更有效。摘要：甲状腺癌症的诊断及其后续治疗可以极大地影响患者的心理健康，尤其是对高危人群。临床医生可以通过告知患者与治疗相关的风险以及提供心理社会支持的教育和资源来帮助患者。
