Tracking anxiety and depression over time in adults with solid tumors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Consecutive adult patients with histologically confirmed solid tumors will be recruited at multiple Spanish hospitals and enrolled at diagnosis or treatment start, with follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months. The study collects sociodemographic, clinical (tumor site, stage, treatments, general health), psychological (coping, quality of life, cognitive complaints, fear of recurrence), physical activity, and supportive-care utilization data. Researchers will map trajectories of anxiety and depression symptoms over time and model which factors predict worsening, improvement, or persistence of symptoms. The observational design means participants receive usual oncologic care while contributing questionnaire and clinical data for analysis.
