最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn),，女性乳腺癌患者的男性伴侶患抑郁癥等精神類疾病的比例高出常人4成。
丹麥癌癥學(xué)會(huì)最新發(fā)布的研究報(bào)告指出,，該機(jī)構(gòu)研究人員在13年內(nèi)跟蹤調(diào)查了100多萬(wàn)男性,，其中部分人的女性伴侶患有乳腺癌。
研究結(jié)果顯示,，女性伴侶患有乳腺癌的男性患抑郁癥等精神類疾病的比例要比常人高出40％,，且女性伴侶的病情越嚴(yán)重,，男性患抑郁癥的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也越高,。如其女性伴侶因乳腺癌而死亡，這部分男性患抑郁癥的幾率達(dá)到正常人的4倍,。
丹麥癌癥學(xué)會(huì)教授克里斯托弗·約翰森指出,，這項(xiàng)研究提示醫(yī)護(hù)人員在治療乳腺癌患者的同時(shí)，也應(yīng)關(guān)注患者伴侶的精神健康,。（生物谷Bioon.com）

BACKGROUND:
A few small studies published to date have suggested that major psychosocial problems develop in the partners of cancer patients; however, to the authors' knowledge, no studies to date have addressed their risk for severe depression. In a retrospective cohort study, the risk for hospitalization with an affective disorder of the male partners of women with breast cancer was investigated, using unbiased, nationwide, population-based information.
METHODS:
Followed were 1,162,596 men born between 1925 and 1973 who were aged ≥30 years at study entry, resided in Denmark between 1994 and 2006, had no history of hospitalization for an affective disorder, and had lived continuously with the same partner for at least 5 years. A Cox regression analysis included detailed clinical information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and on annually updated socioeconomic and health-related indicators obtained from national administrative and disease registers.
RESULTS:
During the 13 years of follow-up, breast cancer was diagnosed in the partners of 20,538 men. On multivariable analysis, men whose partner was diagnosed with breast cancer were found to be at an increased risk of being hospitalized with an affective disorder (hazards ratio, 1.39; 95%confidence interval, 1.20-1.61), with a dose-response pattern for the severity of breast cancer. Furthermore, men whose partner died after breast cancer had a significant, 3.6-fold increase in risk for an affective disorder when compared with men whose partner survived breast cancer.
CONCLUSIONS:
The results of the current study supported the hypothesis that men whose partner had breast cancer were at an increased risk for hospitalization with an affective disorder. Cancer 2010. ? 2010 American Cancer Society.
