The results showed that none of the physiological factors (such as age, cancer stage, etc.) can predict the length of survival time.
In addition, the study also found that anxiety can predict a longer survival time. That is, compared with patients with less anxiety and anxiety in patients with breast cancer survive longer. This may be because the anxiety was the result of breast cancer patients are always trying to eliminate the negative impact, mobilizing all resources to improve their living conditions, ways to prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis.
