Accumulating evidence indicates that the central nervous system (CNS) may regulate the activity of the immune system. Although the overall significance of the immune system in cancer remains controversial, psychosocial influences on immune function could potentially provide a mechanism to account for some of the reports of an association between psychosocial factors and cancer prognosis.
越来越多的证据表明,中枢神经系统(CNS)可能调节免疫系统的活动。尽管免疫系统在癌症中的整体意义仍存在争议,但心理社会因素对免疫功能的影响可能为解释一些关于心理社会因素与癌症预后之间关联的报道提供一种机制。
