Abstract:
Objective:to study alexithymia of long-term survivors of cancers. Method:to compare 36 long-term survivors of cancers and 45 normal controls with TAS (Toronto alexithymia scale) and SCL-90.Result:there was no significant difference between the two groups in total score of SCL-90. But the survivors had significant higher score in TAS than controls.Conclusion:although long-term survivors are similar in symptom level to normal control, they still have obvious alexithymia.
