Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world and is responsible for an estimated 10 million deaths in 2020. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. Even though the global health care quality has improved in the last decades, cancer is still a vague and unpredictable illness that leaves major and mild psychological side-effects, which follows a person even in survivorship. Cancer affects many aspects of the mental state, especially the emotional sphere of a person. Most commonly fear, stress, anxiety, sadness and frustration are the leading emotions when a person is dealing with cancer. In this study we will try to show the range of cancer’s impact on cancer patients’ and cancer survivors’ mental states.
