| Research Abstract |
To investigate the usefulness of salivary α-amylase activity (sAMY) as an index of distress related to invasive medical procedures in children with cancer. sAMY reflected children's distress sensitively, and it was measurable non-invasively and easily. It can be a useful index of psychological or physical distress in children with cancer.
