100 patients successfully treated for gynecological tumors and 100 females who never had suffered from a malignant disease were investigated for neurosis by means of a special questionnaire according Höck and Hess. 52% out of the tumours patients and 42% of the control group demonstrated symptoms and signs of neurosis. The difference was not significant. Patients with tendency to depression or neurosis can be detected with psychometric methods and treated accordingly.
