Abstract

This study addresses the intersection between lung cancer and psychology, highlighting the importance of emotional stability in coping with the disease. We address the psychological implications at individual and family levels by considering the affected age group, predominantly between 50 and 75. Psychology emerges as a fundamental tool aiming to promote quality of life and mental well-being in the context of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, we address the stigmas associated with the diagnosis, exploring how a lack of information contributes to misperceptions. The importance of family support is highlighted, highlighting the crucial role of the family in promoting the patient’s mental health.
