在过去的十年里，心理社会肿瘤学在中国已经成为一个新的项目。该项目的发展需要关注当前的机遇、障碍和文化问题。MethodsA选择的文献综述中的中文和英文期刊和网站的学术论文进行了分析，主题是关于中国心理社会肿瘤学的现状、挑战和机遇。2004-2010年的《世界卫生组织癌症预防和治疗行动计划》（2004-2010年）以世卫组织的指导方针为基础，重点关注癌症预防和治疗以及癌症患者及其家属的生活质量。中国抗癌协会目前正在资助心理社会肿瘤学的研究、培训和国际合作。新组织的中国心理社会肿瘤学会成立于2006年，旨在为心理社会肿瘤学研究提供一个全国性论坛。在中国将心理社会肿瘤学确立为核心学科所面临的文化和系统性挑战包括：（1）家庭希望通过隐瞒癌症相关信息来“保护”癌症患者;（2）关于心理健康问题的耻辱感和隐私;（3）生物医学从业者声称心理社会肿瘤学缺乏充分的循证依据;（4）心理社会肿瘤学的发展趋势。结论国际心理肿瘤学会（IPOS）被认为是中国与国际心理肿瘤学界合作的一个宝贵资源，有助于中国在全球范围内加强心理肿瘤学的研究。
ObjectiveIn China over the past decade, psychosocial oncology has emerged as a new program. Development of this program requires attention to current opportunities, obstacles and cultural concerns.MethodsA selected literature review of academic papers in Chinese and English language journals and web sites was analyzed for themes regarding the current status, challenges, and opportunities for psychosocial oncology in China.ResultsChina’s national cancer strategy (2004–2010), based on WHO guidelines, is focused on cancer prevention and treatment, as well as quality of life among cancer patients and their families. The Chinese Anti-Cancer Association is now funding research, training and international collaboration in psychosocial oncology. The newly organized Chinese Psychosocial Oncology Society, founded in 2006, aims to provide a national forum for psychosocial oncology research. Cultural and systemic challenges to establishing psychosocial oncology as a core discipline in China include: (1) the family’s desire to ‘protect’ cancer patients by with-holding cancer-related information; (2) stigma and privacy regarding mental health issues; (3) biomedical practitioners’ claims that psychosocial oncology is not sufficiently evidence-based; and (4) limited funding for psychosocial oncology care and research.ConclusionThe International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS) is considered a valuable resource towards China’s interest in partnering with the international psychosocial oncology community to enhance the discipline globally.
