New podcast episode tomorrow: *Morgen:Rapport* – Psycho-oncology: Because cancer affects more than just the body
July 14, 2026
The body and mind are closely linked, as is clearly demonstrated by cancer: those affected suffer from far more than just physical symptoms. Feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and a search for meaning are common themes. Psycho-oncological support can therefore provide crucial assistance to those affected – and this can also have an impact on their treatment.
How does psycho-oncology work, and what can it achieve? Is there such a thing as a ‘cancer personality’? And what is needed to ensure that psycho-oncological support is even better provided in future?
A conversation with Ruedi Schweizer, Head of the Centre for Mental Health at the Hohenegg Private Clinic here at Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg, conducted by Joëlle Albrecht, Deputy Head of the Neumünster Institute at Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg.
