Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the religious pattern and its impact on symptom expression in patients with advanced cancer. Methods: A consecutive sample of advanced cancer patients screened at admission to palliative care. Standard epidemiological data were recorded. Patients were asked about their religious beliefs, the degree of social relationship to existing religions, the role of religion in their life, and the frequency of their prayer. The Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) and Hospital Anxiety Depression scale (HADS) were assessed. Results: Two-hundred-eighty-three patients were screened. Age and gender were found to be independently correlated with religious belief (p = 0.042 and p = 0.016, respectively). Gender (females, p = 0.026), age (p = 0.003), lower Karnofsky performance status (KPS) (p = 0.022), and higher values of HADS-A (p = 0.003) were independently correlated with the degree of social relationship to existing religions. Gender (females, p = 0.002), lower KPS (p = 0.005), and higher values of HADS-A (p = 0.04) were independently correlated with a more relevant role of religiosity. Gender (females, p < 0.0005), lower KPS (p = 0.001), and drowsiness (p = 0.05) were independently correlated with frequency of prayer. Conclusion: The more the patients have demanding religious issues, the greater the state of anxiety, particularly in older and female patients with a lower KPS. The religious pattern did not have relevant role in the expression of other symptoms included in the ESAS.
