Pediatric psychoncology studies show the need for multiprofessional and systematic interventions that may contribute to reduction of adverse effects from different situations on cancer treatment that children and their parents are submitted, to or prepare the patient to cope with stressful contexts. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the basic psychoneuroimmunology principies and the use of some contribuitions to psychological support programs for children with cancer, allow the acquisition of behavioral and cognítive repertorie suitable for coping with aversive situations during the disease treatment period. An example of psychological support program has been developed by a public health unit at Distrito Federal, Brazil.
