Cervical cancer is the most common ma-lignant tumor of female reproductive system,and the incidence is high with the patients becoming younger.In addition to the physical discomfort caused by the tumor itself,commonly used treatment methods such as surgery,radiation therapy,chemotherapy,and immunotherapy can all have a certain impact on the patient's body.For patients,physical discomfort can cause emotional disorders,which can exacerbate their physical discomfort.The decrease of estrogen level,low sexual function,economic pressure and the fear for tumor itself and for recurrence all seriously affect the patients'social and psychological status and quality of life,which may also cause a series of psychological disorders(insomnia,anxiety,depression and so on),reducing the patinet's quality of life.Appropriate psychotherapy can effectively improve the psycholog-ical state of patients with cervical cancer,relieve negative emotions such as anxiety and depression,improve the quality of life and compliance to treat-ment,and thus improve the therapeutic effect of cer-vical cancer.
