title: [Education and psychological management of the tumor patient from the viewpoint of the surgeon].
abstract: The opinion concerning the information of patients with malignant tumors about the diagnosis has increasingly changed during the last years. In the most cases the diagnosis of malignancy must be told to the patient especially if he needs additional treatment after operation. An individual proceeding is necessary but some modalities can be generalized. It is attempted to describe some of it according to 35 years experience in surgery.
