Core Tip

Core Tip: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) seriously impacts the patient’s life and induces more adverse emotions. This study investigated anxiety and depression in 144 patients with DTC. Sex, education level, family factors, and basic diseases were the risk factors for anxiety and depression. Better intervention nursing measures can be proposed for clinical practice by observing and proposing indicators that affect patients’ mood risk factors and by comparing them with previous studies, thereby reducing the risk of developing anxiety and depression and improving their prognosis.
