Assessment of anxiety, depression, and distress in breast cancer patients: A comparison among different phases of illness
We aimed to assess the levels of anxious and depressive symptoms and distress in a sample of breast cancer patients in the different phases of the illness. We performed a cross-sectional study.

We included the follow-up within the …
