Zusammenfassung

Angesichts der Bedrohung, die es bedeutet an Krebs zu leiden, ist die erste Reaktion meist Schock und Bestürzung, gefolgt vom Bedürfnis, sich zu orientieren. Der emotionale Verlauf dieser Reaktion kann — je nach Schweregrad der Krankheit und Persönlichkeit — von begründeter Betroffenheit und Angst bis hin zu Panik reichen. Im folgenden beginnt der Einzelne Möglichkeiten und Wege der Bewältigung der Krankheit zu überlegen. Anfängliche Bewältigungsreaktionen wie Verzweiflung und Hilflosigkeit können neuroendokrinologische Prozesse auslösen, die genau jene Immunmechanismen schwächen, die der einzelne braucht, um bösartige Tumore und Mikrometastasen unter Kontrolle zu bekommen. Umgekehrt scheint positives Bewältigungsverhalten mitzuhelfen, das Immunsystem ständig aktiv zu autineoplastischen und zytotoxischen Aktivitäten anzuregen und so das Fortschreiten des Krebses nicht zu fördern.
