The incidence of lung cancer is very high and evidence suggests that patients experience imbalanced emotional capabilities due to less survival rate compared to other cancers. Direct and indirect psychological interventions are mandatory to improve the outcome of lung cancer treatment. Although such interventions are being practiced in developed nations, the effects of psychological interventions on the treatment outcome in the Indian context are lacking. Since there is a definite correlation between treatment outcome and psychological issues, it is high time that clinicians in developing countries including India adopt practices to enhance the quality of life of lung cancer patients.
