Abstract
|
|
|
There are studies for life-saving effects of psychological interventions, influencing the clinical progression of malignant neoplasms. In spite of the methodological flaws of these studies, adjuvant psychological interventions as a part of cancer
treatment have been discussed consistently.these kinds of interventions are expected to lead to both longer behavioral and immunologic changes, preventing the initiation, clinical progresson and recurrence of malignant neoplasms. The type C
behavior
pattern emerged as the outcome of animal and human researches is characterized by the suppression/repression of basic needs, anger and aggression, and high rationality and niceness. In future, painstaking psychological, clinical and laboratory
work
has
to be done in order to clarify the interplay between stressors, personlaity factors, coping styles and nervous, endocrine and immunologic factors in the initiation, progression and therapy of malignant neoplasms. The results thus achieved may
guide
us
to the effective way for early detection and prevention of cancer.
