Abstract: ABSTRACTBreast cancer is the second most prevalent tumor in females. The diagnosis of cancer itself is capable of causing significant physical and psychological impact in patients. More than half of patients with depression are not diagnosed, demonstrating the importance of doctors in assessing risk factors for depression, not to underestimate the diagnosis and to give the correct treatment, as depression has a negative influence on the prognosis and patients' quality of life. The authors point out in this article the most important risk factors in the literature.
