Personality disorders exist on a spectrum in the general population and therefore may coexist in patients who have cancer. Patients with these disorders exhibit character rigidity resulting from enduring patterns of inner experience and behavior and may experience some level of interpersonal conflict among medical staff caring for them. These conditions become exacerbated under stressful cancer-related situations and may lead to adverse consequences and outcomes. This review highlights the conceptual and diagnostic issues of personality disorders for practicing oncologists and provides recommendations for recognizing and managing cancer patients with difficult personality traits or personality disorders.
人格障碍在普通人群中存在于一个连续谱上,因此可能同时存在于患有癌症的患者中。这些障碍的患者表现出由持久的内心体验和行为模式导致的性格僵硬,并可能在照顾他们的医务人员之间经历某种程度的人际冲突。这些情况在与癌症相关的压力情况下会加剧,并可能导致不良后果和结局。本综述强调了人格障碍的概念和诊断问题,为肿瘤学家提供了识别和管理具有困难人格特征或人格障碍的癌症患者的建议。
