Advances in treating cancer have yielded improvements in quality of life and overall survival for many; mental health quality, however, remains a sometimes overlooked and particularly challenging issue. During a plenary session at the NCCN 2025 Annual Conference, a multidisciplinary panel of experts discussed the unique challenges in identifying mental health risk factors in patients with cancer and survivors of cancer. The panel also emphasized the critical role of an interdisciplinary approach in the identification, diagnosis, and management of mental health concerns within this population.

Disclosures: Dr. Fann has disclosed receiving consulting fees from Colla Health. The remaining presenters have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.
