Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is increasingly recognized in cancer patients. Further research is needed to understand risk factors and guide effective interventions for PTSD in cancer care.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Oncology
  • Psychological Medicine

Context:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric diagnosis.
  • Cancer is a significant life stressor.
  • The redefinition of trauma criteria in DSM-IV has enabled PTSD assessment in cancer patients.

Purpose:

  • To review the current state of PTSD in cancer patients.
  • To discuss the assessment, prevalence, risk factors, and comorbidity of PTSD in this population.
  • To identify gaps in the literature and suggest future research directions.

Summary:

  • PTSD prevalence in cancer patients appears comparable to lifetime prevalence in general epidemiological studies.
  • Methodological challenges, including assessment timing and valid instruments for cancer as a trauma, complicate prevalence determination.
Keywords:
