title: [Psychooncology. New aspects for urology].
abstract: Cancer and psychiatric symptoms commonly co-occur. The frequency is about 50%, and those most important for urology are depression, anxiety, and probably post-traumatic stress disorder. There is a strong relationship between psychological distress and cancer pain. This review provides information on diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for psychiatric diseases, which are important for oncology patients in urology. Special advice is given for the doctor-patient relationship and communication.
