“…An earlier finding that intervention was correlated with longer survival was not replicated [20]. Our results are in accordance with the literature showing that interventions for patients with cancer did not extended survival times [26,49,50]. Our results demonstrated that beneficial effects on survival is the major reason for patients receiving more anti-cancer treatment, and the key benefit of psychotherapeutic interventions is improved psychological well-being.…”

BackgroundMany patients with cancer experience depression and anxiety, and an associated decrease in quality of life (QOL) during radiation therapy (RT). The main objective of the study was to determine the benefits of psychosocial interventions for cancer patients who received RT.MethodsPatients with cancer (n = 178) who agreed to participate in the study were randomized to the intervention arm (n = 89) or the control arm (n = 89). Patients in the intervention group received psychosocial care during RT, whereas the control group received RT only. The benefits of the intervention were evaluated using the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) to measure depression, the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) to assess anxiety, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) to survey health-related QOL. The association between intervention and survival was also assessed.ResultsPatients randomly assigned to the intervention arm showed significant improvements on symptoms of depression (p < 0.05) and anxiety (p < 0.05), health-related QOL (p < 0.05) (i.e. better global health status, and physical and emotional functioning, and less insomnia) when compared with controls. In the subset analysis, female patients, those that received high dose irradiation, and those that underwent adjuvant chemotherapy could benefit more from psychosocial intervention. There was no difference between the two groups in disease-free survival (DFS) (2-year DFS 79.8% in the intervention arm and 76.4% in the control arm; p = 0.527) and overall survival (OS) (2-year OS 83.1% in the intervention arm and 84.3% in the control arm; p = 0.925)ConclusionsPsychosocial intervention is a cost-effective approach that can improve a patient’s mood and QOL both during and after RT. However, the intervention was not found to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and death.Trial registrationChiCTR-TRC-12002438

Highlights All RCTs on physical activity, fast-mimicking diet and psychological interventions with evaluated survival outcomes in all cancers were reviewed. Long-term psychological therapies in primary and/or adjuvant treatment settings have demonstrated potential to improve survival. The effects of fast-mimicking diet on cancer survival has not been evaluated to date. Well-designed and sufficiently powered RCTs are needed to evaluate the survival benefits of physical activities and psychological and behavioural therapies in cancer.

Cognitive behavioral symptom management intervention in patients with cancer: survival analysis

Abstract: In this analysis, the CCI was not associated with better survival. For future research, studies exploring survival outcomes need to consider specific characteristics of each intervention and cancer type.
