Patients who use problem-oriented, active, and emotionally expressive coping processes also manage stress well. Survivors who have social and emotional support systems and maintain open communication with their treatment providers will also likely have less psychological distress. Interventions to treat anxiety and depression in cancer survivors include education, routine (not when convenient) exercise, adequate sleep, and reassurance that anxiety and depression are commonly seen in cancer survivors.
