Abstract

In recent years, an increasing number of researchers in the field of psycho-oncology have reported that anxiety in cancer patients has important clinical and psychosocial consequences. Because different age groups may demonstrate different levels of adaptation and vulnerability to stressful situations that are associated with the disease, determining the age-specific characteristics of anxiety is a critically important task. Due to the increasing incidence of cancer in different age groups, there is a need for a detailed understanding of the psychological aspects of anxiety to determine how it can affect the quality of life and the effectiveness of treatment.
