Questionnaires assessed stigma, feelings of blame, and depressive symptoms as well as other facets of health, cancer characteristics, and quality and type of medical care. We report the prevalence of cancer stigma, self\u2010blame, and perceived blame from others. We used multivariate linear regression to assess the association between these factors and a measure of depressive symptoms. Covariates included several measures of overall health, cancer progression, symptom severity, and sociodemographic factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty one percent of respondents endorsed at least one item in a measure of cancer stigma and 25% reported feeling that it was at least \u2018a little true\u2019 that they were to blame for their illness. All three independent variables were associated with depressive symptoms in bivariate models; cancer stigma and self\u2010blame were significantly associated with depressive symptoms in the multivariate model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cancer stigma and self\u2010blame are problems for a significant minority of men with CRC and are independent predictors of depressive symptoms. They may represent an important source of stress in men with CRC.
