The Psychosocial Screen for Cancer (PSSCAN): Further validation and normative data
Health and Quality of Life Outcomes , 03/03/09
Linden W et al. - Sensitivity/specificity analyses revealed that an excellent balance of sensitivity/specificity was achievable with 92% / 98% respectively for clinical anxiety and 100% and 86% respectively for clinical depression. Newly diagnosed patients with cancer were no more anxious than healthy community controls but showed elevations in depression scores. Both, patients with chronic illness other than cancer and those with longer-standing cancer diagnoses revealed greater levels of distress than newly diagnosed cancer patients or healthy adult controls.
