Psycho-oncology has been receiving increasing attention as a specialty in psychiatric service. The Taiwan Psycho-oncology Society (TPOS) was established in 2009. Having met specifi c criteria, TPOS has been just accepted and became one of the 28 federated members in the International Psycho-oncology Society (IPOS) in October 2011 (www.ipos-society.org/about/federation). This may be a good time to review the development of psycho- oncology in Taiwan, and to examine the most imminent tasks and future objectives in this subspecialty area. |
