N2 - Data on the widely used Profile of Mood States (POMS) are presented for 923 recently diagnosed, previously untreated cancer patients. The patients’ responses to the POMS were significantly different from those of other groups on which normative data are currently available. Therefore, the authors recommend that investigators who are conducting empirical studies of mood in patients with cancer use the tables in this article rather than previously published test norms on college students and psychotherapy patients.
