Abstract EN
The aim of this review is to summarize data published on the use of perioperative hypnosis in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery (BCS).
Indeed, the majority of BCS patients experience stress, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, and pain.
Correct management of the perioperative period and surgical removal of the primary tumor are clearly essential but can affect patients on different levels and hence have a negative impact on oncological outcomes.
This review examines the effect of clinical hypnosis performed during the perioperative period.
Thanks to its specific properties and techniques allowing it to be used as complementary treatment preoperatively, hypnosis has an impact most notably on distress and postoperative pain.
During surgery, hypnosis may be applied to limit immunosuppression, while, in the postoperative period, it can reduce pain, anxiety, and fatigue and improve wound healing.
Moreover, hypnosis is inexpensive, an important consideration given current financial concerns in healthcare.
Of course, large randomized prospective studies are now needed to confirm the observed advantages of hypnosis in the field of oncology.
