癌症和个性之间有微妙的关系,在远古的希腊就素为人知。古希腊的一位叫珈伦的医生就曾注意到:抑郁的女子比乐观的女子更易患癌症。19世纪一位很有名望的医生丁·佩吉声称:“在牵肠挂肚、忧虑失望的情绪之后,癌症往往会很快趁虚而入……这样的病例不计其数。”在过去的几十年中,有许多严格的研究工作证实并丰富了这一观察。西雅图的太平洋西北研究基金会的小赖利博士及其同事们曾经做过一项有趣的实验。他们想弄清应激(紧张)是否能使特别容易生癌的某一品种的小鼠的癌发生率增高。他们通过简单的方法,将这种小鼠放在摇床上旋转,结果小鼠的发癌率果然增高了。然后,他们将新的一组同样的小鼠放在非常安静,没有任何噪声和其他紧张、压迫感的环境,进行一项新的对比观察。在正常实验条件下,有80——100%这种特别品种的小鼠在出生后8—18个月长了癌。而在安静条件下,在14个月内只有7%的小鼠长癌。
A delicate relationship between cancer and personality is well known in ancient Greece. A doctor in ancient Greece called Karen noticed that depressed women are more susceptible to cancer than optimistic women. Ding Penghi, a prestigious 19th-century physician, states: “Cancer is often swiftly coming in after worrying and disappointed.” There are countless such cases. "In the past few A decade of rigorous research has confirmed and enriched this observation. Dr. Little Riley, of the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation in Seattle, and his colleagues have done an interesting experiment. They want to find out whether stress (stress) can increase the incidence of cancer in a particular breed of mice that are particularly susceptible to cancer. They simply by rotating the mouse on the shaker, the result of the incidence of cancer in mice increased. Then, they put a new, same set of mice on a very quiet, no-noise, and other stressful, stressful environment for a new comparison. Under normal experimental conditions, 80--100% of this particular breed of mice grew cancer 8-18 months after birth. In quiet conditions, only 7% of mice grew cancer in 14 months.
