Abstract

Affects of hopelessness and helplessness may play an important role in the life history of cancer patients. Open communication with the patient is necessary in order to overcome these affects. The function of denial is discussed and depression is described as a necessary phase in coping with the disease. Depressions in cancer patients cannot be avoided through denial but should be adequately treated.
