Abstract
The belief that cancer might be related to temperament or distress has been emphasized throughout the history of medicine. The field of psyc honeuroimmunology has its origins in psychosomatic medicine, and has e volved to the investigations of complex interactions between the psych e and the nervous, immune, and endocrine systems. Such interactions ma y have implications in both cancer risk and survival. Copyright (C) 19 96 Elsevier Science Ltd
