Fourty-four patients with early breast cancer were interviewed before mastectomy and on three occasions during the following year about psychiatric symptomatology, and their emotional reactions to various aspects of the illness and its treatment. Eight patients developed symptoms of depressive illness. Thirty-five patients expressed emotional distress related to the diagnosis or the loss of the breast or both. All ten who had adjuvant chemotherapy considered this the most unpleasant aspect of treatment. Post-operative distress could often be predicted by a high score on the General Health Questionnaire, or a high level of expressed concern before the operation.
44例早期乳腺癌患者在乳房切除术前接受了访谈，并在随后的一年中三次接受关于精神症状学的访谈，以及他们对疾病及其治疗各个方面的情绪反应。8例患者出现了抑郁症状。35例患者表达了与诊断或乳房缺失或两者相关的情绪困扰。所有接受辅助化疗的10例患者都认为这是治疗中最不愉快的方面。术后困扰通常可以通过一般健康问卷的高分或术前高度表达的担忧来预测。
