Sammanfattning
Depression is a prevalent and significant symptom in many cancer patients, but it is difficult to diagnose and treat. The paper aims to provide a brief review of definition and diagnostic criteria, screening tools and prevalence, differential diagnoses and management of depression in cancer patients. The number of randomised controlled trials on treatment with antidepressants or psychotherapy for depression in cancer patients is still limited.
