Psychological Impact of Cancer and Its Therapy

Arthur M. Sutherland M.D.

The cancer patient is a permanent patient, subject always to the threat of recurrence, to complications of sequels from his altered physiology or anatomy, to emotional upheavals in himself and his family, and to the prejudices of the ignorant. He needs continuing sympathetic contact, even be it at long intervals, with his physician, for it is he who must be the patient's guarantor of health and his shield against "the arrow that flieth by day, and the terror by night."
