“…Über alle Studien und eingesetzten Verfahren schwanken die Prävalenzraten für eine PTSD zwischen 0 und 32%. Betrachtet man die aktuellen Prävalenzraten, die mit Interviews erhoben wurden, so liegen diese (außer bei einer Untersuchung mit 32% [27]) zwischen 0 und 9%. Die mittels Fragebögen erhobenen Prävalenzra-ten sind mit Werten zwischen 1 und 20% niedriger [28,29].…”

In western industrial nations, cancer is one of the most frequent somatic diseases showing increasing incidence rates. Although the options for medical treatment and the survival rates for most cancer diagnoses have improved over the last few decades, cancer is still a life-threatening illness associated with psychosocial issues, suffering, and distress. Depending on the severity and duration of symptoms, psychosocial distress due to cancer ranges from normal reactions to psychological comorbidity based on ICD classification criteria. In cancer patients, the most frequent psychological diagnoses are adjustment disorders, anxiety, and depression; prevalence rates in the literature show high variations depending on the tumor type studied and the assessment instrument used. Today, standardized and validated screening instruments and diagnostic interviews are available for the screening and assessment of psychosocial distress and psychiatric comorbidity. The screening of psychosocial distress in cancer patients and the assessment of psychiatric disorders are important tasks of modern cancer treatment in order to determine the need for psychosocial counseling and psychooncological treatment.

“…Studies have produced estimates of the prevalence of cancer-related current PTSD ranging from 0% (18) to 32% (19) and lifetime cancer-related PTSD from 3.5% (20) to 35.1% (18). Most reports have focused on patients with breast cancer (16, 18 -26), and some rely on the same or overlapping samples in ways that make summaries and comparisons difficult.…”

“…Most reports have focused on patients with breast cancer (16, 18 -26), and some rely on the same or overlapping samples in ways that make summaries and comparisons difficult. Sample sizes have been small (eg, N ϭ 37 [18]; N ϭ 31 [19]); entry criteria have sometimes been so stringent as to restrict generalizability (eg, no surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy for 6 to 72 months and remission of cancer [23]); assessment techniques have relied on instruments that fail to establish the A2 criterion before assessing symptoms of PTSD (eg, 22), and assessment of psychiatric comorbidity has been limited.…”

“…However, semistructured interviews may more accurately assess rates of PTSD within a given population (ie, 31,32). In studies using semistructured interviews with cancer patients, rates of current PTSD have ranged from 0% to 32%, and rates of lifetime (past) cancer-related PTSD have ranged from 3% to 35% (eg, [32][33][34][35][36][37]. Reports of cancer-related posttraumatic stress have not been limited to patients; in one study utilizing semistructured interviews (38), 25% of mothers endorsed PTSD in relation to their child's cancer.…”
