Abstract:
During the last 30 years, many articles have been published in scientific journals dealing with psychological aspects of breast cancer and its treatment. This work, through a bibliographic revision, tries to come across the psychopathologic and psychosocial data concerning breast disease. It exposes its influence on body image, symptom appearance (essentially psychopathology, marital and social adjustment) and sets up some adjustment predictors that can improve support for breast cancer patients.
