“…A meta-analysis by Seo et al 35 found that both depression and anxiety were significantly associated with CRF and that the correlation of anxiety (mean effect size 1.11) was much lower than that of depression (mean effect size 1.49). They also found that a higher level of anxiety and depression were both associated with a higher level of CRF, and that psychological distress (anxiety and depression) was more strongly correlated with CRF than symptom distress.…”

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a common symptom experienced in cancer patients. Depression, anxiety, and stress are associated with cancer. Depression and anxiety are also associated with CRF. At the cellular level, much is known about the impact of stress on the body generally, and its potential role in cancer. Stress, anxiety, and depression have been found to depress the immune system. Depression and stress have also been found to create inflammatory changes in the body and there is emerging evidence that inflammation is involved in cancer pathogenesis and in CRF. This article examines the relationships between stress, anxiety, depression, and cancer; relationships between anxiety and depression and CRF; and what happens at the cellular level, including impact on the immune system and emerging evidence of the role of inflammation in CRF. It also reports on research in relation to some Chinese herbal medicines that may be used to treat CRF.

Our study confirms that alexithymia scores are higher in cancer patients than in controls. The study suggests that alexithymia could be considered a dynamic reaction to illness in recently diagnosed patients, declining during subsequent phases. High fatigue rates in patients with a longtime diagnosis of cancer underline the role of the long course of illness in the perception of fatigue. The association between fatigue and alexithymia was weak in the recently diagnosed group and not significant in patients with a longtime diagnosis, in whom fatigue was an important complaint.

It means that stress levels has a significant effect on individual coping mechanisms in all cancer therapeutic management groups. On the qualitative results showed that stress and maladaptive coping mechanisms caused by side effects of therapy, financial, relationships with caregiver was less harmonious, less able to think positively.
