    En las últimas décadas se ha impulsado desde la Psicología Positiva (PsiPos) el estudio científico de los cambios vitales positivos tras un cáncer, integrándolos con los cambios negativos, desde un mismo marco de experiencia humana. Se han diseñado intervenciones novedosas que han priorizado vías de reducción del malestar emocional y la psicopatología en cáncer desde la facilitación de un funcionamiento psicológico positivo con resultados prometedores. Se realiza una revisión e integración teórica de los constructos de la PsiPos encontrados en bases de datos relevantes (Psycinfo, Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, entre otros) que se han relacionado con los cambios vitales positivos tras un cáncer y su potencial terapéutico. Por último, se describe un resumen del programa de psico-terapia positiva en cáncer apuntando las estrategias terapéuticas facilitadoras de estos cambios positivos. Los cambios vitales positi-vos tras pasar por un cáncer son más la norma que la excepción. Estos cambios juegan un importante papel en la adaptación psicosocial, adherencia a los tratamientos oncológicos, bienestar y calidad de vida. Programas de tratamiento psicológico basados en la PsiPos tienen resultados prometedores en cáncer que complementan y pueden mejorar los resultados de programas tradiciona-les de control o manejo de estrés.

    During the last decades, Positive Psychology (PsyPos) has been promoting the scientific study of positive life changes in the aftermath of cancer. These have been integrated within the negative life changes, from the same human experience framework. Innovative interventions have been designed prioritizing the pathways to the emotional distress and psychopathology reduction in cancer, through the facilitation of positive psychological functioning. These interventions have achieved promising results. A theoretical and integrative review of the PsyPos-related constructs is performed in relevant databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, etc.). These constructs have been linked to the positive life changes after cancer and its therapeutic power. Finally, a summary of a positive psychotherapy program for cancer survivors is described, pointing therapeutic strategies that facilitate positive life changes in the aftermath of cancer. Positive life changes after undergoing cancer are more the norm than the exception. These changes play an important role in psychosocial adjustment, adherence to cancer treatments, wellness and quality of life. Psychological treatment programs based on PsyPos achieve promising results in cancer. These programs are capable of complementing and improving the outcomes reached by traditional stress-management programs.
