The main objective of this article is to argue that more research is needed into the prevention, care and treatment of co-morbid depression and anxiety among people with cancer and highlight it as a growing clinical and policy priority. For background and to support our argument, we provide a current evidence review of systematic reviews relating to common mental disorders amongst people living with and beyond cancer. We cover the factors that may increase the risk of experiencing co-morbid depression and anxiety, epidemiology, and potential care and treatment options.

1. Please define the terms holoendemic, mesoendemic, and hyperendemic in relation to malaria.

2. You only recommend malarone for malarial prophylaxis when there is a significant chlorquine resistance. Isn't malarone now widely used in travellers going to areas with low resistance.

6. Why do patients who ingest eggs from a tapeworm in contaminated food not develop tapeworms?

7. I have a query about one of the details in the book. You mention that perihepatitis is a feature of gonorrhoeal infection, but other books say that perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome) is a complication of chlamydial infections. Is there a possibility of perihepatitis in gonorrhoea? Thank you.

8. In the 7th edition of Kumar and Clark Clinical Medicine, you indicate that there is no benefit in treating the male partner of a woman diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV). As many physicians use the 2 g ⋅ 1 metronidazole dose, is this unwarranted? Does it differ in women experiencing frequent recurrences of infection?

10. Why is HIV not transmitted when delivering a baby through caesarean section?
