Among patients, 33% had breast, 24% gastrointestinal and 15% lung cancer. Eighty\u2010two patients (54.7%) had metastatic disease.

Anxiety was inversely related to age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.043) and positively correlated with time since diagnosis (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.076). Unmarried patients presented with higher rates of depression (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.026).
