Abstract
This study examined premorbid personality correlates of colon cancer and stage of presentation of colon cancer to health care providers. Sixty-one male veterans who completed the MMPI between 1947 and 1975 and were then diagnosed with colon cancer between 1977 and 1988 were matched with control patients.

A stepwise conditional regression analysis found significant differences between the colon cancer and control groups on the Aggressive Hostility variable (p
