Abstract
Background. Colorectal cancer is highly prevalent in Russia, especially among the elderly patients. We analyzed the influence of age on anxiety level and cognitive function on patients with colorectal cancer.
Materials and methods. In the period 2012–2015 we analyzed pre-operatively the level of anxiety (HADS scale) and cognitive disfunction (MoCA test) in 244 patients who underwent radical colorectal resection.
Results. Patients younger than 60 constituted 34 %, 60–74 years – 31 %, 75 years and older – 35 %. We were able to show a correlation between age and anxiety level according to HADS. The same trend was found according to MoCA test.
Conclusion. Oncopsychologist shall develop individualized treatment plan according to anxiety and cognitive levels in patients with colorectal cancer.
