Introduction: Many breast cancer patients suffer from fear of cancer recurrence (FCR). However, effective physical intervention for FCR has been scarce. Previous studies have confirmed that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve patients' anxiety, depression, fear, and stress level.

Methods: This is a longitudinal prospective study. Three hundred women with breast cancer were recruited.
Objective: Anxiety, depression, and pain are highly interactive with each other in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients. This study aims to map out the connectivity between anxiety, depression and pain symptoms amongst Chinese AYA cancer patients from the perspective of a network model.
Methods: Two hundred and eighteen AYA patients, aged between 15 and 39 years at diagnosis; completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and McGill Pain Questionnaire-Visual Analogue Scale (MPQ-VAS).
Background: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), anxiety, and depression are common psychological disturbances that frequently occur together among cancer patients. This study investigated network connectivity between FCR, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in a large representative sample of breast cancer patients.
Methods: This was a multicenter, cross-sectional study of 803 women with breast cancer.
Article Synopsis
- Both maternal and paternal depression is prevalent during pregnancy, with 7.8% of mothers and 3% of partners experiencing significant depressive symptoms as measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.
- Factors like physical health issues are significantly linked to maternal depression, while the symptom networks for mothers and fathers show distinct differences in structure and central symptoms.
- The study highlights the importance of addressing both mothers' and fathers' mental health during the transition to parenthood to mitigate potentially adverse outcomes.
Background: Since the middle of March, the COVID-19 outbreak has been well contained in China. The prevention and control measures for the outbreak have been downgraded to a normalized level. However, until now, the change in level of psychological health amongst perinatal women during the remission phase of the COVID-19 outbreak has not been investigated in China.

Methods: This is a multicentre, cross-sectional study that includes 996 patients with mixed cancer diagnosis.
Previous studies have indicated that younger age is consistently associated with high levels of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), anxiety and depression. However, the associations among these variables in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients are not clear. This study explores the prevalence and correlates of FCR, anxiety and depressive symptoms in Chinese AYA cancer population.
