Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Surgery is the first-line treatment of localized skin cancers. Knowledge on the patient's psychological experience is limited. Therefore, the psychological impact on patients before, during and after surgery can be underestimated. Moreover, the diagnosis of cancer disturbs the patient's entire life and the onset of anxiety disorders is frequent following this announcement.
