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.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
