Psychosocial issues in breast cancer
Abstract:
Preview No matter what the woman's age, removal of a breast or even a lump has a profound emotional impact. In addition to facing cancer, the patient must adjust to changes in her self-image. At the same time, she is often being asked to make stressful decisions about her treatment program from a long and growing continuum of options. The authors describe natural reactions in these patients, factors that add to their anxiety, and the important role of primary care physicians in support and referral.
