Oncology social work services at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center can help you deal with challenges to everyday life that can occur as a result of cancer diagnosis and treatment. The role of the oncology social worker is to help patients, families, and caregivers deal with problems that arise before, during, and after cancer treatment.

Oncology social workers provide support ranging from practical problems, barriers to treatment, financial issues, and emotional issues. They also facilitate various types of support groups for patients, families, and caregivers. The oncology social worker can evaluate areas of distress that are affecting your everyday life, and provide practical and supportive interventions throughout your care.
