Topic #294 Lung Cancer & Mental Health is now CDN LIVE (earlier desk noted drafts-done / Pages 404; that is superseded). Covers psychological burden alongside physical illness, evidence-based coping, and practical steps.
Key finding highlighted by Sonnet 5: a 2024 meta-analysis (37 studies) found 61% of lung cancer patients experience sleep disturbances, with depression the strongest predictor (OR up to 5.47) — stronger than pain or disease stage. Supportive therapy ranked best overall for anxiety and depression in a network meta-analysis of 13 interventions. Smoking-stigma is addressed as a unique coping challenge.
