Abstract

Psychological morbidity in cured cancer patients is seriously underestimated [1–8]. Little research has been done on the long-term psychologic consequences of gynecological cancer, whereas a relatively large number of studies have been done on breast cancer. The latter work has shown that the psychological morbidity in cured patients is high (22%–33%) and that the psychological distress often does not become manifest until 6–9 months after medical treatment [9].
