Impactul psihologic al diagnosticului de cancer ginecologic: între suferință somatică și vulnerabilitate emoțională

Abstract

Gynecologic cancers, including ovarian, cervical, and endometrial malignancies, represent a significant physical and psychological burden for affected women. The diagnosis frequently induces intense emotional distress, encompassing anxiety, depression, and a heightened sense of vulnerability. Chronic psychological stress associated with the disease and its treatment can provoke neurobiological alterations that impair cognitive and emotional functioning. Consequently, an integrative and multidisciplinary approach to patient care is essential to address both somatic and mental health needs, thereby improving overall quality of life and supporting long-term psychological resilience.
