Abstract
Objective
Patients with gynecologic cancers demonstrate different psychosocial outcomes based on their cancer site, which may affect treatment effectiveness and survivorship. Demographic differences and the relation with depression (DP) among women who have a gynecologic cancer diagnosis are not well understood.
Methods
To assess whether survivors of gynecologic cancer had a greater risk of DP compared with women with and without a history of cancer, 2020 BRFSS data was utilized. Pearson chi-square and multivariable logistic regression were conducted to obtain adjusted odds ratios.
Results
Prevalence of DP was 20 % higher among survivors of gynecologic cancer; this was consistent across race/ethnic and urban/rural categories. Odds of DP among gynecologic cancer survivors were 2.5xs those without any history of cancer. Among Black and Hispanic gynecologic cancer survivors, the adjusted odds of DP were 4.5 and 3.2 times those with no cancer or a history of any cancer.
Conclusions
The odds of having DP were significantly higher among gynecologic cancer survivors compared to women without any history of cancer, breast cancer survivors, or survivors of other cancers.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology is dedicated to increasing understanding about cancer causes, prevention and control. The scope of the journal embraces all aspects of cancer epidemiology including:
• Descriptive epidemiology
• Studies of risk factors for disease initiation, development and prognosis
• Screening and early detection
• Prevention and control
• Methodological issues
The journal publishes original research articles (full length and short reports), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor commenting on previously published research.
