“…Our findings may assist oncologists to effectively identify those NSCLC patients at higher risk of suicide, specifically for older, white, unmarried male patients with surgery. For those NSCLC patients with high risk of suicide, we should pay more attention, because appropriate psychosocial interventions have a positive impact on quality of life 43. To reduce cancer‐related suicide, patients’ understanding of cancer diagnosis and treatment options should be ensured 44.…”

Lung cancer patients have an increased risk for committing suicide. But no comprehensive study about the suicide issues among non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has been published. We aimed to estimate the trend of suicide rate and identify the high‐risk group of NSCLC patients. Patients diagnosed with primary NSCLC were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1973‐2013). Suicide mortality rate (SMR) were calculated. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to find out independent risk factors for suicide. Among 495 889 NSCLC patients, 694 (0.14%) of them died from suicide. The suicide mortality rates have significantly decreased (before 1993: 0.21%, 1994‐2003: 0.16%, after 2004: 0.09%, P < .001). Male (OR 6.22, 95% CI: 4.96‐7.98, P < .001), white (OR 3.89, 95% CI: 2.66‐5.97, P < .001), being unmarried (OR 1.43, 95% CI: 1.22‐1.67, P < .001), the elderly (60‐74 vs <60: OR 1.24, 95% CI: 1.03‐1.50, P = .024, >75 vs <60: OR 1.31, 95% CI: 1.05‐1.63, P = .018) were independently associated with higher risk of suicide mortality. Surgery (OR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.19‐1.73, P < .001) was also relative with higher risk of suicide. Our study observed significant decrease in suicide mortality among NSCLC patients in US over past decades. Older age, male sex, unmarried status, and surgery were risk factors of committing suicide. Clinicians should be aware of these high‐risk groups.

“…[1][2][3] Encouragingly, there have been significant advances in the development of psychological support strategies for people with cancer, validated in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses and recommended in evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. [4][5][6][7][8][9] In Australia these recommendations have been set out in psychosocial clinical practice guidelines which are being implemented across diverse treatment settings nationally. 6,10 More than a third of Australians live outside major cities, with 3% living in only moderately accessible, remote or very remote areas.…”

Enhancing psychosocial care for people with cancer in rural communities: what can remote counselling offer?

Rural cancer patients are often disadvantaged in access to psychological services. We reviewed remote counselling research for psychological support using telephone, videoconferencing, and the Internet as a potential solution. Telephone counselling is the most extensively researched, while there are encouraging findings in emerging research about videoconferencing and Internetbased psychological care. Where no face-to-face psychological service exists, these technologies are promising, yet unproven. Less variable methods are needed to better assess the technology and therapeutic approach for stronger evidence.
