Psychosocial treatment for cancer patients

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is evidence to suggest that psychosocial treatment can improve the mental well-being of cancer patients. While Spiegel's research did show a correlation between psychosocial treatment and increased longevity, this finding has not been consistently replicated. Andersen's research, on the other hand, did not find psychosocial treatment to be effective, but there is other evidence that contradicts this finding. Fox's claim that psychosocial treatment is wasteful is not supported by the available research.
