Summary:Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL) include a group of malignant tumors of lymphatictissue, constituting the most common malignant hematological diseases. ModernNHL treatment allows for complete remission, prolonging the life of patients. Despiteall of the above, the psychophysiological and emotional changes caused by this diseasecan persist for a long time after fi nishing the specifi c treatment. Complete remission andpatient survival are the main criteria for evaluating NHL treatment outcomes, but theydo not refl ect the psychological and emotional well-being of the patient with lymphoproliferativemalignancy. The evaluation of the psycho-emotional quality of life of primarypatients with NHL is necessary and can be performed by estimating the psychologicalwell-being, which was highlighted in the results of the GWB (Global Well Being) studygroup. The information obtained from the patient, from this questionnaire, although itis subjective, counts when making decisions in medical conduct and in the complex,subsequent recovery. This paper aims to assess the psychological well-being of primarypatients with NHL according to the index of general psychological well-being dependingon age, sex, morphological type of malignant lymphoma and the degree of spreadof the tumor process.
