Abstract: This paper reviews the clinical aspects of depression in cancer from the perspective of prevalence, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, classification and treatment. Clinical trials, reported since 1960, of psychosocial, psychopharmacologic and behavioral interventions are critically evaluated. Therapeutic guidelines are offered for the management of the depressed patients with cancer. Research directions are suggested for the future.

TL;DR: Patients with metastatic breast cancer whose diurnal cortisol rhythms were flattened or abnormal had earlier mortality, and suppression of NK cell count and NK function may be a mediator or a marker of more rapid disease progression.

Group therapy and hypnosis reduce metastatic breast carcinoma pain

TL;DR: Changes in pain measures were significantly correlated with changes in self-rated total mood disturbance on the Profile of Mood States and with its anxiety, depression, and fatigue subscales, and possible mechanisms for the effectiveness of these interventions are discussed.

TL;DR: The indication is that a selective rather than a blanket service is needed, with the target for intervention being patients at high risk for psychological morbidity, and the advantages of one type of support over another remain unproven.
