Oncology social work does not happen in isolation. Patients bring layered experiences of grief, trauma, identity, and survival that shape how they navigate cancer care.

In this thoughtful piece for 𝘈𝘖𝘚𝘞 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, Adrianna N Burgos Torres, LMSW explores what it means to deliver truly integrative, whole-person care in outpatient supportive oncology. Drawing from real clinical experience, she highlights how grief theory, trauma-informed practice, and somatic approaches can come together to support patients in more meaningful and grounded ways.

This article is a powerful reminder that psychosocial care is not secondary. It is central to how patients cope, heal, and make sense of their experience.

April is National Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise visibility for the individuals and families affected by these often complex and life altering cancers.

This population frequently faces challenges such as speech, swallowing, appearance related changes, and psychosocial impacts that require specialized, compassionate care.

As oncology social workers, we are dedicated to supporting patients throughout treatment and survivorship while advocating for earlier detection and equitable access to resources.

If you're a social worker or healthcare provider supporting this population — what resources have made the biggest difference for your patients?
