N2 - Clinically significant depression not only spoils the quality of life of patients with cancer, but it also shortens their survival. In keeping with meta-analyses that assessed the association between depression and cancer mortality, Pinquart and Duberstein 1 drew from 76 studies (176 863 patients) to confirm that the relative risk of mortality increased by 17 in patients with depression compared with those without depression.
