Three patients with advanced carcinomatosis and concomitant depression were treated with ECT and cancer chemotherapy. All three experienced positive cancerocidal effects, although in one case they were short-lived. Possible explanations for these results are discussed in the light of previous reports of certain psychodynamic and biochemical similarities between cancer patients and depressed patients.
