Abstract

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the deadliest malignancies. The impact of this diagnosis is, therefore, highly traumatic, and affected women are prone to significant distress during the whole course of the disease. The present paper is aimed to review extant literature about the relationship between OC and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
