and to explore its association with clinical and socioeconomic characteristics. Methods: Patients were asked to fill out a questionnaire, which included the five Emotion Thermometers (ET) tool. Previously validated Portuguese cut-offs were used to indicate the presence of ED based on each ET (i.e., $5 for "distress", "depression" and "anger"; $6 for "anxiety" and $4 for "need for help"). Five logistic regressions were performed to explore the association of ET with age, sex, disease phase (diagnosis, treatment, relapse, survival, palliative), pain and economic difficulties (yes/no). Results: Between 2020-2021, 500 patients answered the questionnaire. Mean age was 56.4, 78.6% were female, the most frequent diagnosis was breast cancer (50.6%), and most patients were currently in treatment (48.8%). Proportion of patients with ET scores above cut-offs were 84.4%, 75.6%, 72.6%, 58.0% and 91.4% for distress, anxiety, depression, anger, and need for help, respectively. Having economic difficulties increased the odds for reporting distress (OR=2.15, p,0.05), depression (OR=2.07, p,0.01) and anger (OR=1.83, p,0.01). Having pain increased the odds of reporting anxiety (OR=1.74, p,0.05) and n
