Abstract: Proposing an intervention plan for patients with esophageal cancer allowed us to understand the main difficulties and suffering these individuals go through. This specific psychological intervention for this target population takes into account their characteristics and difficulties, with the aim of increasing the holistic wellbeing of individuals supported by cognitive-behavioral therapy. Psychology can actually help reduce suffering and increase the wellbeing of individuals diagnosed with esophageal cancer during and after their treatment process.
