The present scientific work aims to establish, from a theoretical point of view, the Home Psychological Care Strategy aimed at improving the prevention and treatment of cancer in the San Juan de Dios Popular Council, from a biopsychosocial approach, with an emphasis on Comprehensive home care for cancer patients and their families. In addition, the different stages that comprise it, their objectives and the actions that were carried out are exposed. For the pilot study, medical office 29 of the health area belonging to the José Martí Pérez University Polyclinic, in Camagüey, was selected.
