The psychological impact of cancer

P Maguire. Br J Hosp Med. 1985 Aug.

Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of cancer is associated with a substantial psychiatric morbidity including anxiety, depression, sexual difficulties, body image problems, illness behaviour, and conditioned responses. Active enquiry is worthwhile since most problems are alleviated by treatment once they have been elicited.
