就像新罕布什尔州研究中的老人那样,兰格的圣米格尔研究中的癌症患者也将度过精彩纷呈的一周。这一次将开设美术课、烹饪课和写作课,帮助她们分散对自己病情的极度恐惧,重新投入生活。崔帕蒂表示,像身体现实那样,对晚期癌症的恐惧本身也可能削弱患者的能力。他说,有些患者表现出类似于创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的症状。目前已经有强有力的证据表明,其他人的支持可大大提高癌症患者的生活质量,但这种支持能够改善患者健康前景的证据相对较少。
I asked Tripathy whether there’s any precedent for what Langer is trying to do. “Well, there are many examples in medicine where improvement in the emotional state seems also to bring about some improvement in the disease state,” he said. “We know, for example, that Tibetan monks can meditate and lower their blood pressure. People with hypertension, they embark on behavioral changes, and you can see the improvement in the medical indexes, like fewer heart attacks. But cancer? That’s a harder thing to fathom.”
我向崔帕蒂请教兰格试图进行的研究有没有任何先例。“嗯,医学上情绪状态的改善似乎带来病情改善的例子还挺不少的,”他说。“例如,我们知道,西藏僧侣可以通过打坐冥想降低血压。高血压患者在做出行为改变后,医学指标会有所改善,比如,心脏病发作减少了。至于癌症,那就更难说清楚了。”
