关于被诊断患有睾丸癌的男性的心理反应的大规模随访研究很少;因此，我们对被诊断患有睾丸癌并接受睾丸癌治疗的心理后果的了解很少。此外，我们对男性更喜欢什么样的心理支持并从中受益知之甚少。我们的研究表明，大多数睾丸癌患者，无论疾病的严重程度如何，在诊断时都会经历心理危机。此外，我们发现大多数男性希望在诊断时提供心理支持，包括有关压力和危机反应的信息以及心理咨询。我们的研究强调，不仅需要为睾丸癌患者提供最好的物理治疗，还需要考虑到被诊断的心理后果，并为男性提供心理支持。
There are few large‐scale follow‐up studies regarding psychological reactions among men diagnosed with testicular cancer; therefore, our knowledge is sparse about the psychological consequences of being diagnosed with and treated for testicular cancer. Moreover, we know little about what kind of psychological support the men would prefer and benefit from. Our study shows that most patients with testicular cancer, regardless of the seriousness of the disease, experience a psychological crisis at diagnosis. Furthermore, we found that most men wish that psychological support, including information about stress and crises reactions and psychological counselling, was offered at diagnosis. Our study highlights the need not only to provide patients with testicular cancer with the best physical treatment but also to take into account the psychological consequences of being diagnosed and offer the men psychological support.
