摘　　要：Gynecological cancers and their treatments are associated with both specific and non-specific long-term physiological effects.Cancer patients face transformations in their lifestyle,body image,role,and social interactions and suffer from physical,psychological,and economic problems.The mental health of cancer patients is of great importance and requires special attention,as growing evidence demonstrates its influence not only on quality of life but also on treatment com-pliance.Gynecological cancers have peculiar psychological consequences,which are linked to the specificity of the site of the neoplasia.Clinicians should be aware of the importance of protecting the psychophysical health of these patients and the fact that their physical health and quality of life also depend on the quality of their mental health.It is possible to structure targeted and effective prevention interventions and treatments to reduce psychological distress and improve the quality of life of subjects living with gynecological cancers.
