Equality and Diversity in Psycho-Oncology

A Special Issue of the journal Psycho-Oncology focussing on inequalities in cancer has been published. Concerns are raised relating to what is known about the experience of cancer treatment and cancer treatment outcomes in adults with dementia.

Findings indicate that, when compared with other cancer patients, those with dementia are diagnosed at a later stage, receive less treatment, are more likely to experience complications from treatment and have poorer survival.
