[Personality profile of cancer patients under ambulatory chemotherapeutic treatment].
The MMPI questionnaire was used as a personality test on 20 painfree cancer patients, otherwise in good health and undergoing outpatient chemotherapy. Analysis of the data shows that even in an early stage cancer can produce significant alterations in personality. 85% of the patients studied had emotional disorders with hypochondria and depression being the psychopathological profiles most commonly observed.
