Conditions
Summary
This is a multicenter, prospective study aimed at providing information on the psychological effects (including post-traumatic stress symptoms) of utero-vaginal brachytherapy in patients with cervical cancer using self-administered questionnaires. The study also aims to assess the persistence of these symptoms over time, up to 5 years after brachytherapy. The results could help identify patients at risk of post-traumatic stress in this context and develop appropriate psychological interventions to improve their psychological well-being during and after treatment.
