- Abstract
This document is an editorial titled "Emotions and perception in cancer patients and survivors: the role of body image." It discusses the importance of studying body image (BI) in cancer patients and survivors, as it can have a significant impact on their quality of life and social interactions. The editorial highlights the negative effects of cancer on body image, particularly in terms of femininity and sexuality, and the role of self-objectification theories in contributing to body dissatisfaction and emotional distress. It also mentions the importance of interoception, or the awareness of bodily sensations, in the context of cancer diagnosis and treatment. The editorial introduces a research topic in Frontiers in Psychology that explores these issues and presents various studies on interventions and psychological factors related to body image in cancer patients and survivors. The goal is to enhance understanding and develop tailored interventions to improve the well-being of this population.
