“…All participants gave written informed consent prior to participating in the study. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) [19]), was given to measure depressed mood, as this has been found to be common in patients with brain tumours and because of the behavioural similarities between the syndromes of apathy and depression [20,21]. Although less studied in cancer populations, anxiety has also been shown to be prevalent among oncology patients [22].…”

Purpose: Patients and relatives experiences of behavioural and personality changes following brain tumour were assessed to determine whether these changes are more prominent in the experience of patients with frontal tumours and their relatives as a first step to evaluate the need to develop appropriate support and management of such changes, which have a substantial impact on social functioning, and ultimately to improve quality of life. 3 Methods

“…Most brain tumors present with specific neurologic signs due to mass effect, and 78% of patients with brain tumors had psychiatric symptoms, but only 18% presented only with these symptoms as the first clinical manifestation of a brain tumor 5 . Depression was found in 44% of all brain tumor patients, primary and metastatic 6 . We report a rare case associating delirium with the early presentation of brain metastization of melanoma.…”

Background: Metastatic tumours sometimes present with neuropsychiatric symptoms, however psychiatric symptoms as rarely the first clinical manifestation. Cutaneous melanoma is the third most common cause of brain metastasis, with known risk factors increasing the chance of such central nervous system metastization. Objectives: We present a clinical report of delirium as the first clinical manifestation of melanoma brain metastases, illustrating the relevance of an adequate and early differential diagnosis. Methods: In addition to describing the clinical case, searches were undertaken in PubMed and other databases using keywords such as "brain metastasis", "melanoma", "agitation", "psychiatric" and "delirium". Results: We here report the case of a 52-year-old female patient evaluated by Liaison Psychiatry after sudden onset of delirium while admitted at the Gastroenterology Department to study a hypothesis of pancreatitis. A head CT scan identified brain metastases, and after further examination, including brain biopsy, melanoma brain metastization was confirmed. Discussion: Some of the diagnostic challenges of psychiatric symptoms associated with secondary brain tumours are discussed, underlining the importance of an adequate differential diagnosis when working in Psychiatry Liaison.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on improvement of fatigue and quality of life of patients with high-grade glioma during radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. Method This is a longitudinal, experimental study. Twenty-three patients with high-grade glioma were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups completed the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: Fatigue questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory, and one of the groups received the educational intervention. The groups did not show any change in quality of life and fatigue in this study, for this reason, the educational program did not present any significant difference. However, there was a significant difference in depressive symptoms during the educational program showing positive evidence for its applicability.
