Preoperative level of depression is a predictor of postoperative levels of depression in patients with head and neck cancer.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In Japan, population-based cancer incidence data are reported several years behind the latest year of cancer mortality data. To bridge this gap, we aimed to determine a short-term projection method for cancer incidence. METHODS:Data between 1985 and 2007 were obtained from the population-based cancer registr...
