摘要

The current path of civilization is characterized by an accelerated speed of change of the social environment.As a result,continuous emotional stress became prevalent in urbanized societies.At the same time,with increased life span and successes in treatments of infection and cardiovascular diseases,the chances of being diagnosed with cancer are increasing.The high incidences of stress-related conditions and cancer suggest that substantial numbers of patients will experience both.Furthermore,the cancer diagnosis itself invariably causes distress,and prostate cancer patients were reported to experience increased levels of stress and anxiety.
