Abstract
The article examines the psychological features of women with breast cancer who have undergone various types of surgical treatment – sectoral resection or mastectomy. During the study, a number of differences were found in terms of personality characteristics, control locus and coping strategies in the study groups. Additional-ly, it is observed that women who underwent sectoral resection demonstrated positive dynamics in certain as-pects of quality of life and personality traits. In contrast, women who underwent mastectomies showed no sta-tistically significant improvement in quality of life measures, but had a higher level of internality in the field of failure and family relationships, showed a tendency towards externalization in the field of achievement, a high-er need for social support. The authors emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach to the rehabil-itation of women after radical breast cancer treatment, taking into account their psychological characteristics and type of surgery.
