title: [Psycho-oncology in dermatology].
abstract: Psycho-oncology is a young discipline-in dermatology as well as in the medicine. The topic is heterogeneous and not clearly defined. The proportion of indications for emotional care in oncology is up to 50%, depending on the method of diagnosis. In daily dermatological practice, careful distribution of information and helping with coping are essential in order to not overwhelm the patient. The doctor should ask questions about the patient's expectations, fears, and any unclear items.
