Abstract:
The incidence of cancer continues to rise, and improving treatment outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients has become a major goal. Death anxiety is prevalent throughout the entire disease trajectory of cancer patients. It not only severely impairs their psychological well-being and quality of life but also undermines treatment confidence and rational decision-making. Therefore, it warrants significant clinical attention. This paper reviews the current status of assessment, influencing factors, and intervention strategies for death anxiety in cancer patients, aiming to provide a reference for healthcare professionals.
