Harvard Psychosocial Oncology 2026 — the mental-health side of cancer care, from diagnosis to bereavement
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School ran Harvard Psychosocial Oncology — What to Expect When Caring for an Oncology Patient 2026 online from April 30 to May 1, 2026, their second annual edition, and the recording arrives as 22 HD videos with 22 PDFs (2.37 GB). With roughly one person in three facing a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime, it equips any clinician to recognise and respond to the emotional toll on patients, caregivers and families. Day one centres on depression, anxiety and demoralisation across treatment and survivorship; day two covers substance use, psychedelics and cannabis, difficult encounters, grief, support groups and younger patients.
