Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: 5-HTTLPR genetic polymorphism of serotonin transporter (SERT) and stressful life events facilitate depression. The aim of this investigation was therefore to determine the correlations between SERT polymorphism and mental adjustment to cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Breast cancer patients early after surgery, and subjects with various advanced tumours were recruited, evaluated using the Mini Mental...
