Patients with ovarian cancer (OC) often experience anxiety, depression and fear of progression (FOP); however, it is unclear whether surgical complexity has a role to play. We investigated the prevalence of anxiety, depression and FOP at 12 months post-cytoreductive surgery and investigated associations with surgical complexity, patient (age, ethnicity, performance status, BMI) and tumour (stage, disease load) factors. One hundred and forty-one patients with FIGO Stage III-IV OC, who did not have disease progression at 12 months post-surgery, completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and FOP short-form questionnaire. Patients underwent surgery with low (40.4%), intermediate (31.2%) and high (28.4%) surgical complexity scores. At 12 months post-surgery, 99 of 141 (70%) patients with advanced OC undergoing surgery experienced clinically significant anxiety, 21 of 141 (14.9%) patients experienced moderate to severe depression and 37 of 140 (26.4%) experienced dysfunctional FOP. No associations were identified between the three different surgical complexity groups with regards to anxiety, depression or FOP scores. Unsurprisingly, given the natural history of the disease, most patients with OC suffer from anxiety, depression and fear of progression after completion of first-line cancer treatment. Surgical complexity at the time of surgery is not associated with a deleterious impact on anxiety, depression or FOP for patients with OC. Patients with OC experience a profound mental health impact and should be offered mental health support throughout their cancer journey.
卵巢癌(OC)患者常经历焦虑、抑郁和疾病进展恐惧(FOP);然而,手术复杂性是否起作用尚不清楚。我们调查了肿瘤细胞减灭术后12个月时焦虑、抑郁和FOP的患病率,并研究了其与手术复杂性、患者(年龄、种族、体能状态、体重指数)和肿瘤(分期、疾病负荷)因素之间的关联。141例FIGO III-IV期OC患者在术后12个月时未出现疾病进展,他们完成了医院焦虑抑郁量表和FOP简式问卷。患者接受了手术复杂性评分低(40.4%)、中等(31.2%)和高(28.4%)的手术。术后12个月时,141例接受手术的晚期OC患者中有99例(70%)出现临床显著焦虑,141例患者中有21例(14.9%)出现中度至重度抑郁,140例患者中有37例(26.4%)出现功能失调性FOP。在焦虑、抑郁或FOP评分方面,未发现三种不同手术复杂性组之间存在关联。鉴于该疾病的自然病程,毫不奇怪,大多数OC患者在完成一线癌症治疗后会遭受焦虑、抑郁和疾病进展恐惧。手术时的手术复杂性对OC患者的焦虑、抑郁或FOP没有有害影响。OC患者会受到深刻的心理健康影响,在其整个癌症治疗过程中都应给予心理健康支持。
