%X The aim of this paper was to examine adjustment to a diagnosis of cancer, cancer as trauma, and the posttraumatic growth process by reviewing the scientific literature. We first present Folkman & Greer's (2000) adjustment to cancer model updated by Holland (2002) and then review cancer as a possible cause of posttraumatic stress. Finally, we describe Tedeschi & Calhoun's (2004) Posttraumatic Growth construct. The review is concluded with a sample of different points of view about posttraumatic growth related to cancer, and with some suggestions about future researches.
