Area of Science:

Psychosocial Oncology
Translational Cancer Research

Background:

Distress is a common and significant issue for individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) established a guideline for distress screening and management in 1999.
Annual updates to the NCCN guideline reflect ongoing efforts to improve patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize research findings on the NCCN Distress Management Guideline and the associated distress thermometer.
To evaluate the guideline's progress through the five phases of translational research.
To identify areas requiring further investigation to enhance the guideline's impact.

Main Methods:

Literature review and synthesis of research findings.
Application of the five-phase translational research framework.
Analysis of studies related to the NCCN guideline and distress thermometer.

Main Results:

The NCCN Distress Management Guideline serves as a valuable tool for identifying and addressing patient distress.
Research has been conducted across various phases of translational research concerning the guideline.
The distress thermometer is a key instrument utilized in conjunction with the guideline.

Conclusions:

The NCCN Distress Management Guideline is effective for screening and managing distress in cancer patients.
Continued research is essential, particularly focusing on the guideline's influence on patient-important outcomes.
Further investigation will refine the application and effectiveness of distress management strategies in oncology.
