The effect of psychotherapy on the survival of cancer patients has been debated for the past 20 years, mainly due to contradictory findings in the studies published so far. Several reviews have been published, almost all of which criticize the methods used in the studies. In 2007, three replication studies were published, which indicate that the hypothesis that psychotherapy prolongs life should be abandoned. The purpose of the present review of randomized studies of psychosocial intervention is to determine the strength of the evidence for enhanced survival after participation in psychosocial interventions.
