Featured article: Psycho-oncology in Korea: past, present and future

Psycho-oncology in Korea was introduced among the circle of consultation-liaison psychiatrists, in the 1990s.

In this study, the authors review the history of psycho-oncology in Korea, in a chronological order, within the domains of clinical practice, research activity, training, and public policy.
