N1 - Funding Information:
It is important for the oncology team to acknowledge and validate that cancer presents a unique challenge and that distress is normal and expected. Being able to express distress to the staff helps provide relief to the patient and builds trust. The team needs to ensure that social supports are in place for the patient and that he or she knows about community resources such as support groups, teleconferences, and help lines. The NAM report contains a list of national organizations and their toll-free numbers.37 Some selected organizations that provide free information services to patients with cancer are: American Cancer Society: www.cancer.org American Institute for Cancer Research: www.aicr.org American Psychosocial Oncology Society: http:// apos-society.org/ Cancer Support Community: http://www.cancer-supportcommunity.org (Cancer Support Commu-nity provides the Cancer Support Helpline at 888.793.9355) CancerCare: www.cancercare.org National Cancer Institute: www.cancer.gov Cancer.net, sponsored by ASCO: www.cancer.net Follow-up at regular intervals or at transition points in illness is an essential part of the NCCN Guidelines for Distress Management and the NAM model for care of the whole patient.

N2 - Distress is defined in the NCCN Guidelines for Distress Management as a multifactorial, unpleasant experience of a psychologic (ie, cognitive, behavioral, emotional), social, spiritual, and/or physical nature that may interfere with the ability to cope effectively with cancer, its physical symptoms, and its treatment. Early evaluation and screening for distress leads to early and timely management of psychologic distress, which in turn improves medical management. The panel for the Distress Management Guidelines recently added a new principles section including guidance on implementation of standards of psychosocial care for patients with cancer.
