New JCO Oncology Practice Piece on Debunking Myths of Hope in Cancer Care
Sarah Sammons, Breast Medical Oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, shared a post by Ramy Sedhom, Assistant Professor of Hematology and Oncology at Perelman School of Medicine and Director of Medical Oncology and Palliative Care at Penn Medicine’s Princeton Medical Center, on X, adding:
“Hope is a belief in one’s personal ability to move in a positive direction given the realities of a situation. It can exist even in circumstances that are objectively dire because it does not require a general positive outlook, but one’s ability to set goals…and conjure agency.”
Quoting Ramy Sedhom‘s post:
“This powerful new JCO Oncology Practice piece breaks down the myths of hope, shares evidence-based techniques to strengthen it, and reframes how we talk about prognosis and purpose in oncology.
‘Patients can die with hope.'”
