Abstract

This approach for rapid screening for distress was acceptable in prostate carcinoma patients, although these older men were reluctant to agree to evaluation and treatment. This simple screening method needs further testing and the identification of barriers on the part of the patient and oncologist that impede the identification of the most distressed patients.
