Purpose Aim of the study was to provide information about the prevalence of cancer related fatigue and the association between treatment-related factors and fatigue in cancer patients during the rehabilitation care. Patients and Methods In a multicenter study 693 cancer patients (27 % breast cancer, 17 % prostate cancer etc.) completed the Multidimensio-nal Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) and sociodemographic and treatment information was noted. Results 51 % of the patients suffer from fatigue (n = 356). Fatigue prevalence differed according to tumour localization (p = 0.001). There was a substantial association between fatigue and treatment condition in terms of the combination of surgery and radiation (p = 0.05). Conclusion Fatigue was high prevalent in patients in the rehabilitation care. Thus, fatigue should be routinely screened and after differentiated diagnostics be considered in rehabilitation care plans.

Partnership, sexuality, and fertility-related communication: findings from a register-based study among long-term hematological cancer survivors

Britta Lohmann, Katharina Kuba, Heide Goetze, Anja Mehnert-Theuerkauf, Svenja Heyne, Peter Esser

Summary: This research investigated the situation of hematological cancer survivors regarding partnership, sexuality, and fertility-related communication. The results showed that most survivors were satisfied with their partnership and sexual life, but some experienced sexual impairments due to physical or mental symptoms. Factors related to quality of life included satisfaction with partnership, satisfaction with sexual life, and conversation about fertility with physicians. These findings need to be confirmed in longitudinal studies.

Summary: In clinical cancer care, distress screening is recommended to identify highly burdened patients in objective need for psychosocial support. However, it is unclear whether distress screeners can predict the willingness and utilization of psychosocial support.

Physical and psychosocial factors associated with sexual satisfaction in long-term cancer survivors 5 and 10 years after diagnosis

Summary: Our study examines the sexual satisfaction of long-term cancer survivors 5 and 10 years after diagnosis, revealing factors that can both hinder and enhance sexual satisfaction, such as psychosocial and physical symptom burden and social support. We surveyed 924 patients recruited from a local cancer registry, assessing various factors including chronic comorbidity, symptom scales, depression, anxiety, partnership satisfaction, quality of life, and social support. The study finds that nearly half of the respondents perceive a decline in sexual satisfaction post-cancer. High sexual satisfaction is associated with factors such as low chronic comorbidity, less fatigue, pain, depression, and anxiety, as well as high social support, satisfaction with partnership, and quality of life.

Summary: This study compared the screening accuracy of HADS-D and HADS-T for major depression and found no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between the two. The shorter HADS-D would be preferred in most clinical and research settings as it not only reduces patient burden but also has equivalent diagnostic accuracy to HADS-T.

Summary: An increasing number of adolescents and young adults (AYA) are coping with the long-term effects of cancer and its treatment. This study aimed to collect detailed information about the work, education, and financial situation of AYA cancer survivors after acute treatment, and identified sources of support. The findings highlighted career modifications and job loss, uncertainty in the return-to-work process, discrimination at the workplace, and financial burdens as significant themes. Relatives and German social security institutions were identified as important sources of support.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and methods of CAM use in breast cancer and gynecological cancer patients, compare CAM users vs. non-CAM users regarding their sociodemographic and medical characteristics, and investigate the relationship between CAM use and QoL. The results showed that 46.5% of the patients used some form of CAM, and CAM use was higher in breast cancer patients. CAM users were younger, more educated, and financially better off, but had a lower global health status/QoL.

Summary: This study utilized network analysis to investigate the interconnectedness of fear of cancer progression and recurrence (FoP) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptoms in cancer patients. The findings support the hypothesis that FoP and GAD are distinct concepts within the field of oncology, but further validation is needed in future longitudinal studies.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of oncological therapy on perceived stigma in cancer patients. The results showed that patients receiving chemotherapy experienced higher levels of stigma, with predictors including age and depression. These findings suggest the need for special attention and psycho-oncological care for younger and more depressed patients in clinical practice.

Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy in Psycho-Oncological Care

Laura Vibrans, Antje Lehmann-Laue, Anja Mehnert-Theuerkauf

Summary: Being diagnosed with cancer often leads to psychological distress. Advanced cancer patients in particular may experience what is called existential distress, characterized by a loss of meaning and purpose in life due to facing a life-threatening disease. Existential distress greatly impacts healthcare outcomes and quality of life, and is associated with suicidal thoughts, even without accompanying mental disorders like depression. Meaning-centered psychotherapy has proven successful in alleviating existential distress in cancer patients.

New progress in an old debate? Applying the DSM-5 criteria to assess traumatic events and stressor-related disorders in cancer survivors

Franziska Springer, Michael Friedrich, Katharina Kuba, Jochen Ernst, Heide Glaesmer, Uwe Platzbecker, Vladan Vucinic, Svenja Heyne, Anja Mehnert-Theuerkauf, Peter Esser

Summary: In this study, hematological cancer survivors were assessed using the DSM-5 criteria, and it was found that about 8% of reported stressors qualified as traumatic events. Among all PTSD cases, only 1.1% were cancer-related. Therefore, the DSM-5 criteria help differentiate PTSD from AjD in cancer patients.
