Social environment and breast cancer. A cohort analysis of patient survival

J R Marshall et al. Cancer. .

Abstract

Several crude indicators of social stress and social involvement were used to explain survival among 283 women with breast cancer. The relationships of some stress and involvement indicators to survival are apparent; the data provide evidence that social stress decreases and social involvement increases the length of time breast cancer patients survive.
