  abstract = {{W}e sought to review literature on the prevalence of symptoms of depression in women with a diagnosis of breast cancer ({BC}) and in the {P}eruvian population determine the prevalence of symptoms of depression and to describe the association with sociodemographic characteristics. {D}escriptive cross-sectional analytical study of 254 patients from the {N}ational {C}ancer {I}nstitute of {P}eru ({I}nstituto {N}acional de {E}nfermedades {N}eoplasicas) with a diagnosis of clinical stage {I} or {II} {BC}. {T}he patients included women aged between 26 and 67 years old. {S}ymptoms of depression were monitored by the {B}eck {D}epression {I}nventory-{II}. {M}oreover, clinical features and patient sociodemographic characteristics were analyzed and their association with depression was assessed by logistic regression. {T}he average age of the patients was 47.8 +/- 9.2 years; 5.4% of the patients were postmenopausal at the time of the questionnaire. {A}bout 55% of women were from {L}ima, 58.3% had completed secondary education (11 +/- 3.2 years), 45.7% were not working, and 46.5% were single. {T}he prevalence of depression was 25.6% at the time of {BC} diagnosis. {O}f those patients with symptoms of depression, 16.9% showed symptoms of mild depression, 6.3% moderate, and 2.4% severe. {A} multivariable logistic regression model showed that in {P}eruvian women with a diagnosis of {BC} being married or employed significantly decreased the odds of presenting depressive symptoms ({P}=0.029 and 0.017, respectively). {O}ur main limitation was the lack of evaluation of depressive symptoms before the diagnosis, during or at the end of treatment. {A}nother limitation was that the {B}eck {D}epression {I}nventory-{II} test could only identify depressive symptoms, but not depression as a disease. {W}e have reviewed relevant literature on depression in women with a diagnosis of {BC}. {T}he data presented suggests an association between both employment and marital status with depressive symptoms among {P}eruvian women with a diagnosis of {BC}. {P}re-emptive support for women at risk could influence resilience and/or motivation for compliance with antineoplastic treatments.},
