Relationship between cancer and these psychological factors is reviewed. Cancer patients present lower levels of anxiety but similar or higher levels of depression, assessed by self-report questionnaires, than their corresponding controls. Anxiety disorders present similar twelve-month prevalence in cancer patients and in general population, meanwhile mood disorders are more prevalent in cancer patients.
