Abstract

The psycho-oncology is a branch of psychology that is responsible for improving the physical, psychological or emotional well-being , not just the cancer patient but also their family. One of the key issues to be discussed with patients is the adequacy of communication and information about these processes to other family members, especially if we focus on the minor children who live and still rely on parents who have disease. The relevant guidelines and instructions are also useful for other professionals, such as teachers of schools, educators, social workers..., working with children and can be found with this type of case. Cancer is a disease in which the life is in danger, and this has an impact not only for the patient but also in other family members. Thus, the aim of our communication is a brief review of the results of the prevalence, describe different structured treatments available, explain the different studies on the influence and impact this has on children, noting risk factors and protective describe specific indications by stage of development where the children are, and finally give some comments on different orientations of why, what, how and when to report this as stressful as the diagnosis and treatment of cancer circumstances
