Depression Therapy Could Lower Cancer Deaths

An American study has shown that depression increases the risk of cancer-related death by 11%, particularly among patients with types like prostate and lung cancer. The five-year mortality rate reaches 43% among those with depression compared to 35% among those without. The study also revealed that receiving psychological therapy within the first four weeks of diagnosis reduces the risk of death by up to 21%, especially when treatment is initiated early. The researchers emphasized the importance of early detection of depression and providing psychological support to improve cancer patients' chances of survival.
