Abstract

Over two-thirds of the 11.4 million cancer survivors in the United States can expect long-term survival, with many others living with cancer as a chronic disease controlled by ongoing therapy. Behavioral comorbidities often arise during treatment and persist long term to complicate survival and reduce quality of life. This review focuses on depression and insomnia with an emphasis on understanding the role of cancer-specific factors and their contribution to the prevalence of these behavioral comorbidities in cancer patients following cancer diagnosis and treatment. The clinical significance of depression and insomnia for cancer patients is further stressed by epidemiological observations that link depression and insomnia to cancer morbidity and mortality risk.

Prevalence of depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorder in oncological, haematological, and palliative-care settings: a meta-analysis of 94 interview-based studies. Lancet Oncol. 2011;12(2):160–74. This systematic meta-analysis provides one of the most comprehensive quantitative summaries on the prevalence of depression as well as anxiety and adjustment disorders in patients with cancer, including those in oncological, haematological, and palliative-care settings. Given that some combination of mood disorders occurs in 30–40% of cancer patients across various clinical settings, it is concluded that clinicians should remain vigilant for mood complications, not just depression.PubMedCrossRef

This longitudinal study is one the largest to assess the prevalence and natural course (incidence, persistence, remission, and relapse) of insomnia comorbid with cancer during an 18-month period. Given that insomnia was found to be a frequent and enduring problem in patients with cancer, it was concluded early intervention strategies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, could prevent the problem from becoming more severe and chronic.PubMedCrossRef
