Systemic Challenges in Romanian Oncology and the Psychosocial Impact on Patients

Abstract

This paper presents a multi-level integrated analysis of the literature and statistical data on systemic challenges and psychosocial effects for cancer patients in Romania. The goal is to find out the main factors that affect patients and see how these factors impact their mental health, ability to cope, and overall well-being. The analysis integrates institutional, financial, cultural, and emotional perspectives, highlighting the interdependence between systemic dysfunctions and the psychosocial impact on the patient experience. This approach allows for the formulation of coherent intervention directions and public policies aimed at supporting unified psychosocial support and promoting holistic, person-centered care.
