Cancer diagnosis

A cancer diagnosis is an incredibly stressful, life altering event. In concordance with National Suicide Prevention Week (NSPW), we highlight the significant increased risk of suicide in cancer patients. Prior international studies have reported high suicide rates in cancer population compared to the general population; Higher suicide rates were seen in respiratory and breast cancers in Denmark , in respiratory and oropharyngeal cancers in Norway and esophageal, pancreatic, and respiratory cancer patients in Sweden.

Prior international studies have reported high suicide rates in cancer population compared to the general population; Higher suicide rates were seen in respiratory and breast cancers in Denmark  in respiratory and oropharyngeal cancers in Norway and esophageal, pancreatic, and respiratory cancer patients in Sweden.

In a recent study conducted by our team on 3,640,229 cancer patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), we identified 6,661 patients who committed suicide (1973– 2013).

We explored the suicide rates in lung cancer patients compared to the general population and to the three most prevalent non-skin cancers (breast, prostate, colorectal cancer (CRC) using SEER*Stat 8.3.2 program to calculate the standardized mortality ratio (SMR).
