Associations between prostate cancer-related anxiety and health-related quality of life.
This study followed prostate cancer patients who were enrolled in the cohort study North Cancer Prostate Cancer Comparative Effectiveness & Survivorship Study (NC ProCess) from January 2011 and June 2013. A 1-year follow-up survey was done to assess prostate cancer-related anxiety (PCRA) in the cohort. The researchers were interested in the association between PCRA and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The risk of probable depression was significantly higher in participants with clinically significant PCRA compared with those without it.

Depressive symptoms, social anxiety, and perceived neck function in patients with head and neck cancer.
This study examined the relationships of depressive symptoms and social anxiety with perceived neck function in patients treated for head and neck cancer. Significant associations were found between membership in the neck disability index trajectories and membership in the longitudinal patterns of depressive symptoms and social anxiety. The investigators concluded that impaired physical function and psychological distress are intertwined for patients with head and neck cancer long after completing treatment.
