“…Some experts have proposed that the increased social support and the improved mood of married patients may influence survival because of the effect of marriage on QOL. Cultural context also factors into a patient's changes in QOL over time when the patient has a diagnosis of malignant disease [5,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Minor, but statistically significant, changes were reported regarding QOL in two categories at baseline and over time among married and single patients with EC. Minor differences may be present between married and single EC patients regarding spiritual QOL at baseline and in overall physical well-being QOL at baseline and over time, although these differences did not reach statistical significance.

“…The current SEER database consists of 17 population-based cancer registries that represent approximately 28% of the population in the US. It contains no identifiers and is widely used for studies of the relationship between marital status and survival outcomes of patients with cancer [4, 5, 7, 9–11]. …”

Marital status was found to be an independent prognostic factor for survival in various cancer types, but it hasn’t been fully studied in colorectal cancer (CRC). The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database was used to compare survival outcomes with marital status in each stage. In total, 112, 776 eligible patients were identified. Patients in the widowed group were more frequently elderly women, more common of colon cancer, and more stage I/II in tumor stage (P < 0.001), but the surgery rate was comparable to that for the married group (94.72% VS 94.10%). Married CRC patients had better 5year cause-specific survival (CSS) than those unmarried (P < 0.05). Further analysis showed that widowed patients always presented the lowest CSS compared with that of other’ group. Widowed patients had 5% reduction 5-year CSS compared with married patients at stage I (94.8% vs 89.8%, P < 0.001), 9.4% reduction at stage II (85.9% vs 76.5%, P < 0.001), 16.7% reduction at stage III (70.6% vs 53.9%, P < 0.001) and 6.2% reduction at stage IV(14.4% VS 8.2%, P < 0.001). These results showed that unmarried patients were at greater risk of cancer specific mortality. Despite favorable clinicpathological characteristics, widowed patients were at highest risk of death compared with other groups.

“…In a Swedish population study of middle-aged men the association between marital status and screened hypertension as well as CVD mortality risk remained statistically significant even after multiple adjustments for possible confounders, men with single status having higher risks than married/cohabitating men [2]. Old widowers have higher bladder cancer mortality than married men, independent of age, race, and stage, probably due to both differences in the willingness of the patients to seek medical treatment and psychoneuroimmune factors [3]. Furthermore, marital status is associated with psychiatric problems.…”
