The factors contributing to the diagnosis and onset of cancer have become increasingly diverse and widespread. It is no longer viewed solely from a biological perspective, as was previously believed. Science and knowledge are constantly evolving, and studies have shown that other factors interplay in the diagnosis of cancer. This is highlighted by the modern model in health psychology, which views health and illness through three primary dimensions. In this research paper, we will address these dimensions and explore how biological, psychological, and social factors interact in the diagnosis of cancer. We will also assess the level of awareness among patients regarding the causes of their illness. This will be done through a case study of six cancer patients at the Adrar Cancer Control Center, using clinical observation, personal interviews, and open-ended questions. The research findings indicate that the integration of the three dimensions contributes to improving the effectiveness and quality of treatment for these patients.
