The Awakening Cortisol Response: Methodological Issues and Significance (2004, background): “…profiles are evident in individuals experiencing major depression (Trestman et al., 1995; Goodyer et al., 1996; Yehuda et al., 1996; Deuschle et al., 1997b; Weber et al., 2000; den Hartog et al., 2003) and in cancer patients (Touitou et al., 1996; Mormont et al., 1998; Sephton et al., 2000).”
Positive health: connecting well-being with biology. (2004, background): “Flatter slopes of daily salivary cortisol have also been associated with repression of emotion (Giese-Davis et al. 2000) and have predicted early death among breast cancer patients (Sephton et al. 2000).”
Assessing salivary cortisol in large-scale, epidemiological research. (2009, neutral): “, 2006) and increased mortality from breast cancer (Sephton et al., 2000).”

A field (researcher's) guide to cortisol: tracking HPA axis functioning in everyday life (2008, background): “…slopes may also be predictive of eventual health outcomes: for example, among women with breast cancer, flat cortisol cycles were linked with earlier mortality (Sephton et al., 2000), and among breast cancer survivers, flattened slope was associated with persistent fatigue (Bower et al., 2005).”
Psychoneuroimmunology Meets Neuropsychopharmacology: Translational Implications of the Impact of Inflammation on Behavior (2012, background): “Indeed, patients with metastatic breast cancer with a flattened cortisol slope were found to show decreased survival as well as decreased natural killer-cell number and activity (Sephton et al, 2000).”

One year pre-post intervention follow-up of psychological, immune, endocrine and blood pressure outcomes of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in breast and prostate cancer outpatients. (2007, background): “Nonetheless, if abnormal or elevated cortisol levels are a marker of poor prognosis in cancer patients, as suggested by previous work (Sephton and Spiegel, 2003; Sephton et al., 2000), this effect, if verified, could prove significant.”
