Abstract:
After a cancer diagnosis, emotional distress is common. We currently have many conventional treatments such as radiotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapies and immunotherapy to fight cancer. However, these treatments are associated with significant adverse effects, which may themselves be the cause of psychic suffering. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in relieving some of these symptoms, but its practice is still limited in oncology. This is as much related to ignorance about the discipline as to a lack of large randomized prospective studies. This article provides an overview of hypnotherapy and its benefits in the field of psycho-oncology and discusses the prospects for the future.
