关于心理社会因素可以预测癌症患者寿命的观点存在相当大的争议和矛盾的数据。本研究通过消除先前研究中的一些方法学缺陷，并将重点放在更严格定义的患者人群上，进一步解决了这个问题。49名女性转移性乳腺癌患者接受了各种心理测试。在分析时，研究中的所有患者都死于疾病。根据从诊断日期和检测日期计算的生存时间，将患者平均分为短期生存者和长期生存者。结果表明，在评估的任何社会心理变量上，两组之间没有一致的差异。这些数据表明，对于转移性乳腺癌患者，在确定生存期时，疾病相关变量可能超过选择的心理社会因素的影响。
Considerable controversary and contradictory data exist about the notion that psychosocial factors can predict longevity in cancer patients. This study further addresses that issue by eliminating some of the methodological weaknesses of prior studies iand focusing on a more tightly defined patient population. Forty-nine female metastatic breast cancer patients were given a variety of psychological tests. At the time of the analyses, all patients in the study had died from their disease. Patients were evenly divided into short-term survivors and long-term survivors based on length of survival as calculated both from date of diagnosis and from date of testing. The results indicated that there were no consistent differences between groups on any psychosocial variable assessed. These data suggest that, for breast cancer patients with metastatic disease, disease-related variables probably outweigh the influence of select psychosocial factors in determining length of survival.
