Title of project:
Psychosocial factors and the risk of cancer: a pre-planned meta-analysis of the PSYchological factors and CAncer consortium
Proposal summary:
We will examine whether depression is related to the development of cancer by summing results of 18 large studies. We will examine whether depression predicts cancer only in some groups of individuals, for example males. In addition we will examine whether depressed individuals live less healthy, for example smoke more, and whether this is the reason they are more likely to develop cancer.
