Abstract
- A longitudinal study enrolled 75 women with primary breast cancer. Before the confirmation of diagnosis, authors measured trait-anxiety and body satisfaction. Three weeks after diagnosis, coping strategies and state-anxiety were evaluated. The number of days of survival was measured 10 years after diagnosis. In Cox proportional-hazards models adjusting for severity of disease and age, high social support and low state-anxiety predicted an increased risk of death from breast cancer. A significant increased risk of death in women with low scores on the Body Image Questionnaire appeared only in the univariate model.
