Abstract in brief

  • This study reviews multiple cohort studies to understand how depression and anxiety affect cancer risk and outcomes, finding that both mental health conditions are linked to higher rates of cancer incidence and mortality among cancer patients.
  • Clinically diagnosed depression and anxiety are associated with worse cancer survival and higher cancer-specific death rates, while general symptoms of depression and anxiety mainly affect mortality, not initial cancer risk.
  • The review highlights that depression and anxiety particularly increase the risk for specific cancers like lung, oral cavity, prostate, and skin cancers, and are connected to poorer outcomes in patients with cancers of the lung, bladder, breast, colon, and blood.
