[Psychiatric psychotherapeutic interventions in breast cancer inpatients : A contribution to liaison-consultation psychiatry.]

CONCLUSION: Despite methodological limitations this investigation contributes to describing relevant psychopathological syndromes in a group of breast cancer patients without pre-existing mental disorders and the goodness of fit of the different psychiatric and psychotherapeutic interventions. Finally the study confirmed the assumption that stabilization of the mental state may help to avoid treatment interruptions in an oncological inpatient setting and therefore decrease the likelihood that reduced psychological well-being can negatively impact the biological course of tumor development.
