- •
Mental disorders were found to be rather frequent in patients with cancer undergoing radiotherapy.
- •
Anxiety disorders were the most prevalent, followed by adjustment disorders and depression.
- •
Besides being highly prevalent, these mental disorders were found to persist for at least a month after radiotherapy.
- •
At the start of radiotherapy treatment, cancer patients presented a high frequency of emotional distress.
- •
Sex, age, education status and previous surgery or chemotherapy were associated with the prevalence of mental disorders and distress.
