Depression Lowers Breast Cancer Survival

New Study Reports

In a recent study, researchers found that women with breast cancer and depression have a lower chance of surviving the disease compared to women without breast cancer and depression.

The study, published in the journal JAMA Oncology, looked at data from over 150,000 women with breast cancer. The researchers found that women who had depression before or after their breast cancer diagnosis were more likely to die from the disease.

The researchers say that their findings highlight the importance of screening for depression in women with breast cancer. They also say that more research is needed to understand the link between depression and breast cancer survival.
