“…Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dismal prognoses among cancers and it was previously reported that patients with pancreatic cancer develop depressive symptoms at high rates (32,33). In addition, whereas patients with esophageal cancer had a high proportion of delirium, this was not mentioned in previous reports and might just have been due to the small number of cases in this study.…”

Objective: In cancer patients, adjustment disorders, delirium and depression have been identified as common psychiatric disorders. Although a comparable result was reported in the National Cancer Center in Japan, the nature of patients in that hospital may differ from that in local hospitals. There is a possibility to expand the findings of psycho-oncology by evaluation of the data from a local university hospital and comparison with the National Cancer Center data. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of cancer patients who were referred to the Department of Psycho-Oncology at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center. We identified their characteristics and psychiatric diagnoses and compared these with the National Cancer Center data. Results: During the study period, 765 cancer patients were referred. The numbers of inpatients and outpatients were almost the same. The most common psychiatric diagnosis was adjustment disorders (24%), followed by delirium (16%) and then major depressive disorder (12%). The rank of these three was the same as that at the National Cancer Center. Outpatients constituted more than 80% of the patients with major depressive disorder. The proportion of cancer patients with schizophrenia in this study (4.3%) was higher than that in the National Cancer Center (1.6%). Conclusions: This study revealed basic information about the consultation data of cancer patients at a local university hospital in Japan. The importance of communication with outpatients was suggested. It seems that cancer treatment for patients with schizophrenia in a local hospital is also important.

“…In a comprehensive review, Massie [7] referred to the prevalence of depression in pancreatic cancer between 33 and 50%. Different from the study by Lin et al [3] , some trials performed prior to confirmation of cancer diagnosis observe psychological symptoms preceding somatic disorders [8,9] . Therefore, a discussion about 'mental symptoms as an aid in early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer' was started [10][11][12] .…”

ÖZETBirçok çalışmada, kanser hastalarında depresyon sıklığının belirgin olarak yüksek olduğu belirtilmiştir. Kanser ve major depresyon ilişkisi en belirgin şekliyle pancreas kanserinde karşımıza çıkar ve bu güçlü ilişki uzun yıllardır bilinmektedir Ancak bu ilişki ve ilişkinin altında yatan patofizyolojik mekanizma hakkında yetersiz bilgi birikimi söz konusudur. Farklı kansertürlerinde de artmış major depresyon sıklığı mevcuttur. Bu yazıda tanı öncesinde depresif bulguları ortayaçıkan ve hastalık progresyonu döneminde bu bulguları belirgin şekilde artan pankreatik nöroendokrin karsinom tanılı bir vakasunulmuştur. Depresifbulgularla; malignite tanısı ve prognoz arasındaki olası ilişkinin tartışılmasıve 'depresif semptomlar metastazı öngörebilir mi?' sorusunu ngündemegetirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. AnahtarKelimeler: Pankreas Nöroendokrin Karsinomu; Depresyon; Metastaz. ABSTRACTVarious studies reported remarkable higher rates of depression in cancer patients. For years, strong relationship between pancreatic cancer and major depression has been reported. Higher incidence of major depression exists in various subtypes of cancer, too. However, there is an inadequate data about this relationship and its underlying pathophysiological mechanism. In this paper, we have reported a pancreatic neuroendocrine pancreatic carcinoma case who had depressive symptoms before the diagnosis and became more prominent with the progression of the disease. We aimed to discuss the relationship between depressive symptoms, early cancer diagnosis and prognosis of the disease while investigating the predictive value of depressive symptoms in the early prediction of the metastases.
