The effect on oncology of the doctrine of Cartesian dualism is examined. It is argued that (1) this doctrine continues to exert a baneful (though unacknowledged) influence on the practice of oncology, (2) Descartes's doctrine of a mind/body split is mistaken, and (3) mind and body (brain) are inextricably interwoven. A biopsychosocial model of disease is advocated. The role of psychooncology in healing the mind/body split by focusing research attention on the patient is outlined.
本文探讨了笛卡尔二元论学说对肿瘤学的影响。文中指出：（1）该学说继续对肿瘤学实践产生有害（尽管未被承认）的影响；（2）笛卡尔的身心分离学说有误；（3）精神与身体（大脑）紧密相连、不可分割。本文提倡采用生物心理社会疾病模型，并概述了心理肿瘤学通过将研究重点聚焦于患者来弥合身心分离的作用。
