Skin Cancer Face, Surgical Incision
Conditions
Keywords
surgical, act- quality of life
Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
The main objective of the study is to explore patients' experience assessing anxiety before, during and away from surgery. The investigators will distinguish the anxiety related to the surgical act itself and the anxiety related to the announcement of the disease. The secondary objective is to assess the impact of surgery on quality of life, self-image and aesthetic satisfaction.
