Approximately 25% of people in the developed world pass away from cancer. The word “cancer” is broad and includes more than 277 distinct types of the disease. The identification of several cancer phases indicates that a multitude of gene alterations have a role in the development of cancer. These gene changes result in the abnormal cell proliferation. Compared to people who receive their diagnosis voluntarily or through screening, many cancer patients receive their diagnosis as an emergency presentation, which has been associated with worse clinical and patient-reported outcomes. The majority of cancers present with symptoms to basic treatment even in cases where there is a screening test for the specific disease. Nevertheless, a benign condition may present with symptoms similar to those of cancer, therefore the doctor needs to rule out cancer as the reason. Cancer is a serious unmet need.Compared to people who receive their diagnosis voluntarily or through screening, many cancer patients receive their diagnosis as an emergency presentation, which has been associated with worse clinical and patient-reported outcomes. The majority of cancers present with symptoms to basic treatment even in cases where there is a screening test for the specific disease.Patients’ and their families’ lives are significantly impacted by cancer and the intricate nature of treatment. Cancer patients therefore require a variety of services. The purpose of this study is to compile the opinions of cancer patients regarding the areas in which they require assistance during their treatment. A narrative and a thorough search of the PsycInfo, Embase, and Medline databases’ literature were undertaken. The “three lines of work” approach developed by Corbin & Strauss was utilised to carry out the outcomes synthesis. Key common needs were found for each line of business. The most important needs identified for sickness-work were knowing what to anticipate, communicating with medical specialists, keeping well, and comprehending their illness and available treatments.
