Factors Influencing Delayed Diagnosis in Oncology.

In Romania there is a discrepancy between cancer incidence (last place in Europe) and mortality rate (over the medium rate in Europe), possibly due to a higher number of late diagnosis. This study aims to determine associations between delayed cancer diagnosis and psychosocial characteristics (depression, coping style, social support). Cancer patients were administered a battery of tests for depression, anxiety, coping mechanism, social support, social status, medical and family history, and time between first symptoms and diagnosis.
