Lung Cancer Diagnosis is Associated With Increased Suicide Risk

  • Health

Suicide is a major public health concern, and it is being observed that individuals diagnosed with lung cancer had a nine-fold increased risk of suicides.

Suicide due to lung cancer is highest compared to breast, prostate or colorectal cancer. The study showed the overall suicide rate in patients with any kind of cancer, compared to the general population, was 60 percent higher.

‘Suicide risk is higher among patients with lung and colorectal cancer, and lower in breast cancer and prostate cancer patients.’

While the highest risk of suicide was seen in patients with lung cancer, the lowest risk was seen in patients with breast cancer and prostate cancer (20 percent higher).

For patients with colorectal cancer the risk was 40 percent higher.

The increased risk was particularly in older patients, widowed, males, and patients with unfavourable tumour characteristics, the researchers said.

“We wanted to see what the impact of one of life’s most stressful events is on patients,” said Mohamed Rahouma, post-doctoral research fellow from Cornell University

“Most clinicians don’t think about suicide risk in cancer patients. This study may change that by making us more aware of those at greatest risk of suicide so that this catastrophe in the care of our patients doesn’t happen,” Rahouma added.

For the study, presented at the ATS 2017 International Conference in Washington, DC, the team analysed 3,640,229 patients and looked at suicide deaths for all cancers and for lung, prostate, breast and colorectal cancers individually.

Over a 40 year period, cancer diagnoses were associated with 6,661 suicides.
