Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v23 n3 p217-26 1991
Compared psychological variables of 30 patients with inoperable breast cancer to matched group of 30 operable breast cancer patients. Found that women with inoperable breast cancer had higher scores in denial, exhaustion, hopelessness, worthlessness, depression, somatization, hostility, and psychoticism. Profile of inoperable cancer patients did not present specific psychiatric classification but showed different kinds of psychological symptomatology. (Author/PVV)
