在许多社会中，癌症患者受到污名化。调查癌症污名的原因和后果的研究已经迅速增长，但是，由于研究人员之间缺乏共识，如何概念化和检查癌症污名，这是很难在目前的癌症污名文献中的结果之间的联系。在这篇综述中，作者开发了一个潜在的概念框架，试图总结/组织现有的研究结果。在框架中提出的癌症耻辱的每个阶段都出现了共同的主题：（1）污名的六个不同方面，解释了为什么癌症患者可能会被污名化，（2）一般人群、家庭或重要他人以及卫生专业人员对癌症患者的负面刻板印象、偏见和歧视，（3）患者心理健康状况差，存在不良健康行为。最后，对该框架在未来癌症污名干预研究中的应用进行了讨论。
People with cancer are stigmatized in many societies. Research investigating the causes and consequences of cancer stigma has grown rapidly; however, due to a lack of agreement among researchers as to how to conceptualize and examine cancer stigma, it is difficult to draw connections among the findings in the current cancer stigma literature. In this review, the authors developed one potential conceptual framework in an attempt to summarize/organize the existing findings. Common themes emerged at each stage of cancer stigma proposed in the framework: (1) six different dimensions of stigma that explain why patients with cancer are likely to be stigmatized, (2) negative stereotypes, prejudice toward, and discrimination against patients with cancer among the general populations, family or significant others, and health professionals, and (3) patients' poor psychological well-being and negative health-related behaviors. The utilization of the framework in the future cancer stigma intervention research is discussed.
