Abstract
The authors focus on cancer, a group of medical diseases that have been found to have a robust association with depression. It begins with the etiology of cancers, followed by information about the prevalence of depression among cancer patients and a discussion of shared risk and causal factors of both depression and cancer. The authors then discuss assessment of depression among cancer patients, including diagnostic approaches, methods of detection, and measures of depression. This is followed by a section on psychosocial interventions for depression in cancer patients and clinical practice guidelines.
