Abstract
Central theme of mental adjustment responses in laryngeal cancer patients was “Setting Boundaries”, concerning above all patients' attitude to information and thoughts about the cancer. This response seems to be the dividing line between good and poor adjustment. The results emphasize the importance of adapting the information given and rehabilitation options to each individual patient. The findings largely support the Swedish version of the Mini-MAC, but some deviations were found which should be considered when interpreting results from the Mini-MAC in laryngeal cancer patients.
