Forty colorectal cancer patients, 14 gastric cancer patients, and 10 normal controls were tested with the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. The gastric cancer patients had a significantly higher amount of life change (p less than 0.05) in the 2-year period preceding the onset of the first symptoms of their illness. Moreover, there was a significant (p less than 0.01) negative correlation between amount of life change and age at onset of symptoms in gastric cancer, but not in colorectal cancer. There was also no correlation between age and life change in the normal controls. These findings suggest that emotional stress may be a predisposing factor in gastric cancer.
对40名结肠直肠癌患者、14名胃癌患者和10名正常对照者进行了社会再适应评定量表测试。胃癌患者在首次出现疾病症状前的2年期间，生活变化量显著更高（p小于0.05）。此外，胃癌患者的生活变化量与症状出现时的年龄之间存在显著的负相关（p小于0.01），而结肠直肠癌患者则不存在这种相关性。正常对照者的年龄与生活变化之间也没有相关性。这些发现表明，情绪压力可能是胃癌的一个诱发因素。
