[Psychosomatics and cancer].
The cancerous patient who suffers a coinciding psychiatric illness shows, according to the M.M.P.I., signs of a depressive personality with marked introversion and dependence. The aggressivity test shows that self-aggressiveness coincides with inhibition and lethargy tone. An accumulation of stress factors and events stand out in patients with depression (72%), which do not appear in those patients diagnosed as having neuroses and schizophrenia. There is a need for psychiatric attention which contributes to treating the patient interdepartmentally; thus relieving both the moral and physical pain which these patients suffer.
