文摘

Nearly 19% of HNC patients had a depression diagnosis during the study period. Pre-cancer depression was associated with 1.49 times greater hazard of cancer-specific mortality. Post-cancer depression was associated with 1.38 times greater hazard of cancer-specific mortality. Pre-cancer depression was associated with 1.55 times greater hazard of all-cause mortality. Post-cancer depression was associated with 1.40 times greater hazard of all-cause mortality.
