Results show that patients receiving radiotherapy who do not believe that disease reduction would be affected by their own efforts to be cured had less survival (any patient was alive 18 months after diagnosis) than the other patients (20% of patients were still alive 18 months after diagnosis).  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
