This study was carried out in order to clarify the correlation between the personality of oral cancer patients and feeling of satisfaction with being told the truth about cancer. After 3 to 20 months from their discharge, we obtained information by means of questionnaires about telling the truth to 30 oral cancer surgery patients (13 males and 17 females aged 61.2 on average), and investigated their personality using the Yatabe-Guilford personality inventory (YG). According to YG, the patients were classified into 5 categories as type A [5 patients (16.7%)], type B [1 (3.3%)], type C [11 (36.7%)], type D [12 (40.0%)] and type E [1 (3.3%)]. The majority of type C (introverted) wanted information about their cancer, but in comparison with other character types, type C patients were the most dissatisfied with contents of being told the truth. This was probably because the contents of the truth telling were different from the postoperative disability that actually happened. Especially for patients with introverted personality, we consider it essential that the surgeon gives more information on the postoperative state.
