Abstract Objective Our aim was to describe and compare self-reported causal attributions (interpretations of what caused an illness) among cancer survivors and to assess which sociodemographic and clinical characteristics are associated with them. Methods Data from five population-based PROFILES registry samples (i.e. lymphoma (n = 993), multiple myeloma (n = 156), colorectal (n = 3989), thyroid (n = 306), endometrial (n = 741), prostate cancer (n = 696)) were used. Causal attributions were assessed with a single question. Results The five most often reported causal attributions combined were unknown (21%), lifestyle (19%), biological (16%), other (14%), and stress (12%). Lymphoma (49%), multiple myeloma (64%), thyroid (55%), and prostate (64%) cancer patients mentioned fixed causes far more often than modifiable or modifiable/fixed. Colorectal (33%, 34%, and 33%) and endometrial (38%, 32%, and 30%) cancer survivors mentioned causes that were fixed, modifiable, or both almost equally often. Colorectal, endometrial, and prostate cancer survivors reported internal causes most often, whereas multiple myeloma survivors more often reported external causes, while lymphoma and thyroid cancer survivors had almost similar rates of internal and external causes. Females, those older, those treated with hormonal therapy, and those diagnosed with prostate cancer were less likely to identify modifiable causes while those diagnosed with stage 2, singles, with ≥2 comorbid conditions, and those with endometrial cancer were more likely to identify modifiable causes. Conclusion In conclusion, this study showed that patients report both internal and external causes of their illness and both fixed and modifiable causes. This differsbetween the various cancer types. Implications for Cancer Survivors Although the exact cause of cancer in individual patients is often unknown, having a well-informed perception of the modifiable causes of one’s cancer is valuable since it can possibly help survivors with making behavioural adjustments in cases where this is necessary or possible.

Abstract Background: This longitudinal study aimed to analyze the incidence of mental disorders in cancer survivors using claims data in South Korea. Methods: We confirmed the presence of mental disorders in a nationwide cohort of 555,776 patients diagnosed with stomach, breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2016. We analyzed the incidence of mental disorders based on age and time of diagnosis. Results: Analysis of the data revealed 36,526 (6.5%) cancer survivors were diagnosed with a mental disorder 1 year prior to cancer diagnosis. Of these patients with mental disorders, 16,035 were diagnosed with anxiety (43.9%), 13,848 with depression (37.9%), 3,998 with stress reaction/adjustment disorders (10.9%), and 2,645 (7.2%) with substance abuse during their first visit. The incidence of depression was relatively high in the breast-cancer group and that of anxiety was high in the prostate-cancer group. The incidence of anxiety was high in females and that of substance abuse was high in males. Further, the incidence of depression was relatively high in the young age group and that of anxiety was high in the elderly group. The overall frequency of mental disorders peaked 2 months after cancer diagnosis. The highest rate of increase after diagnosis was noted among those with stress reaction/adjustment disorders. Conclusion: Mental disorders in cancer survivors showed different patterns of incidence depending on the nature of the disease, sex, age, and primary cancer. Considering individual factors, timely diagnosis and intervention for psychological distress may increase these patients’ quality of life.
