Cancer patients with depression less likely to recover well after treatment
From Medical News Today –
New research shows colorectal cancer patients who have depression when they are diagnosed are significantly less likely to make a good recovery following surgery than patients without depression. The researchers say the groundbreaking study shows the important role mental health plays in cancer recovery and the need to cater for each patient’s individual needs before, during, and long after their treatment has finished.
MTCC Plan
Among Montana residents, cancer is the second-leading cause of death, after diseases of the circulatory system, such as heart disease and stroke. Each year, approximately 5,600 Montanans are newly diagnosed with cancer, and an average of 1,900 Montanans die from the disease. Furthermore, it is estimated that 53,000 Montana residents are cancer survivors.
Cancer Moonshot Summit
In 2016, hundreds of communities across the US held a Cancer Moonshot Summit to double the rate of cancer care and to find a cure for cancer. Cancer Support Community Montana provided leadership and held 3 summits in Montana – Bozeman, Kalispell and Billings.
