News: Counselling doubles chances of surviving breast cancer by cutting stress levels - Telegraph

Researchers from Ohio State University found that attending fortnightly counselling groups helped women with breast cancer.

This Telegraph article (18 November 2008) reports on the study from the Comprehensive Cancer Centre which found that interventions boosted survival rates for breast cancer patients.

Barbara Andersen, who led the research, comments: "The results suggest that we can help breast cancer patients make positive steps that may help them live longer. Many of the strategies learned in the intervention programme, such as stress reduction, may have had benefits against heart disease and other causes of death."
