Brief summary
This is the prospective, observational cohort study (G-Distress) to explore the associations of psychological stress with treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer. The participants including the patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who received surgery, chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Interventions
The assessment of depressive and anxiety symptoms was conducted using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment 7 (GAD-7). Patients with a PHQ-9 score ≥ 5 or a GAD-7 score ≥ 5 were categorized as the stressed group.
