About this study

Official title: Effect of Temperament, Anxiety and Depression on Immuninity in Colorectal Cancer Patients.

Aim of the study is to evaluate if Temperament, Anxiety and Depression can affect Immunity and influence Survival in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Read the detailed description

120 prospective patients, with non-metastatic colorectal cancer, will be evaluated with questionnaires and auto-questionnaires in order to assess temperament, anxiety and depression. The immunity status will be assessed by a blood sample with the aim to evaluate cell-mediated immunity.

Survivall will be related to level of anxiety/temperament/depression and cell-mediated immunity.

Univariate and multivariate model analisys will be performed in order to evaluate if anxiety/temperament/depression and cell-mediated immunity can be considered as prognostic factors.
