Attitude and disposition: Do they make a difference in cancer survival?
J Prosthet Dent.
1999 Sep.
Abstract
Statement of problem: Investigators have attempted to resolve the question: do psychosocial, emotional, and attitudinal factors have any effect on cancer survival?
Purpose: This article presents a literature review and an overview of the developments in the mind-body connection to examine the influence of attitude in cancer survival.
Conclusion: Even though a causal effect of emotional issues on the initiation and promotion of cancer is speculative, the effect of emotions on numerous medical conditions cannot be ignored.
