Prior to chemotherapy, 26 patients with testicular cancer were given a battery of psychological tests. The results revealed that these young men had a high sex drive but were less well informed about sexual matters and had a narrower range of sexual experiences than the test norms. In addition, their psychological profile was indicative of an adolescent identity crisis. The 19 long-term survivors (alive 7 years after testing) had a lower self-regard and more emotional symptoms, were more introverted, and tended to express more anxiety, depression, and hostility than did the 7 short-term survivors (who dicd within the first year). These data suggest the possibility of a psychological profile of testicular cancer patients that may be used as a pretreatment indicator of probable long-term survival after chemotherapy. They also indicate that the sometimes annoying behavior of long-term survivors can be viewed as successful coping mechanisms. |
