Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is a leading cause of mortality among women. Comorbidity with mood disorders is a condition either disregarded or underdiagnosed in BC patients, but that might ultimately jeopardize health trajectories. This is supported by evidence indicating that the same biological pathways relevant for mood disorders may also underlie tumorigenesis. In this study, we aimed at deriving a reliable biosignature of mental health vulnerability in BC patients.
