abstract = {Treatment modifications and contact restrictions were
common during the COVID-19 pandemic and can be stressors for
mental health. There is a lack of studies assessing
pandemic-related risk factors for anxiety and depression of
cancer patients and survivors systematically in
multifactorial models. A total of 2391 participants, mean
age 65.5 years, ≤5 years post-diagnosis of either lung,
prostate, breast, colorectal cancer, or leukemia/lymphoma,
were recruited in 2021 via the Baden-Württemberg Cancer
Registry, Germany. Sociodemographic information,
pandemic-related treatment modifications, contact
restrictions, and anxiety/depression (Hospital Anxiety and
Depression Scale, HADS) were assessed via self-administered
questionnaire. Clinical information (diagnosis, stage, and
treatment information) was obtained from the cancer
registry. Overall, $22\%$ of participants reported
oncological care modifications due to COVID-19, mostly in
follow-up care and rehabilitation. Modifications of active
cancer treatment were reported by $5.8\%.$ Among those,
$50.5\%$ had subclinical anxiety and $55.4\%$ subclinical
depression (vs. $37.4\%$ and $45.4\%,$ respectively, for
unchanged active treatment). Age <60 years, female sex, lung
cancer, low income, and contact restrictions to peer support
groups or physicians were identified as independent risk
factors for anxiety. Risk factors for depression were lung
cancer (both sexes), leukemia/lymphoma (females), recurrence
or palliative treatment, living alone, low income, and
contact restrictions to relatives, physicians, or
caregivers. The study demonstrates that changes in active
cancer treatment and contact restrictions are associated
with impaired mental well-being. The psychological
consequences of treatment changes and the importance for
cancer patients to maintain regular contact with their
physicians should be considered in future responses to
threats to public health.},
