ABSTRACT
The majority of widespread cancers on the stage of clinical manifestation is incurable and therapy is only for the purpose of life extension. So, it isn`t surprising that most of people realize the word "cancer" as a verdict. A man himself doesn`t believe in his own death and doesn`t realize the fact that "Death is an appropriate phenomenon, but not punishment". Facing the death causes existential crisis. The understanding of inevitable fact of death arouses short, but desperate fight against it, which is, in most cases accompanied by anxiety. Some fundamental changes in phsychoemotional status take place within the young patients (knowing the diagnosis), which help an individual move into a new stage of actions with forming new values and aims. All these give conditions for better adaptation of an individual with phsychic traumas. So, the research of a person`s emotional situation, facing the death, will help to indentify the necessity of prophylactic pharmacotherapy with anxiolytics and to overcome both the negative associations with death and the fear connected with it (preserving life horizon).
