Depression and anxiety in long-term survivors 5 and 10 years after cancer diagnosis

Health-related quality of life of long-term advanced melanoma survivors treated with anti-CTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibition compared to matched controls

“…In this study, 18 and 12% of the advanced melanoma survivor population had clinical levels of anxiety and depression, respectively. These results are in line with the results of earlier studies in other cancer survivor populations [45,46]. Mitchell et al found a prevalence of 17.9% for anxiety and 11.6% for depression in a meta-analysis, comparing depression and anxiety in long-term cancer survivors (!2 years after 'any' cancer diagnosis) [47].…”
