Supportive therapy suitable for patients and families coping with the stress of cancer should be based on an understanding of their needs, and on the results of different approaches to meeting those needs. At present, there are few useful data in either of these areas. In the United States, supportive therapy for patients with cancer has often evolved from priorities that are not necessarily those of the patients.
