Lung Cancer, 06/29/09
Vos MS et al. - Three patterns of denial over time were identified in lung cancer patients: patients displayed either low, moderate or increasing denial. Male lung cancer patients were found to deny at a moderate level more often. A moderate or increasing level of denial was consistently related to improved patient-rated physical outcomes. Lung cancer patients displaying more denial reported a better overall perception of health and better physical functioning. They complained less about fatigue, nausea and vomiting, appetite loss, dysphagia and pain in arm and shoulder than low deniers. Other symptoms did not differ among denial classes.
