title: [Research in psychosocial aspects of ENT tumor surgery (excluding laryngectomy): 4-part analysis of the literature. 3: Results of research].
abstract: The available literature on psychosocial aspects of head and neck cancer surgery from 1950 to 1995 was reviewed in four parts. Part 3 is a detailed description of the findings looked at from four different points of view: 1. Restrictions by illness and treatment (dysfunction, mutilation, emotional and social reactions); 2. Coping; 3. Course of illness and treatment (treatment delay, preoperative phase, hospitalization, early and later rehabilitation, tumor recurrences, terminal disease); 4. Relationships between patients and professionals (doctor-patient relationships, countertransference).
