“…A. et al verified the growing suicide risk among cancer patients (pooled SMR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.5–1.9) 24 . In addition to the finding, scholars in Norway (HR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.7–3.8) 38 , Lithuania (SMR:1.62; 95% CI: 1.27–2.06) 39 , the U.K. (SMR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.16–1.25) 36 , as well as the U.S. (SMR: 2.06; 95% CI: 2.00–2.12) have also given alike reports over the past few decades 25 . A novel contribution of this research is that analysis on suicide-associated risk factors among esophageal cancer patients on the basis of SEER database, which has the largest sample size at present, provides an important basis for clinical prevention and intervention of esophageal cancer suicide.…”

Throughout the world, esophageal cancer patients had a greater suicidal risk compared with ordinary people. Thus, we aimed to affirm suicide rates, standardized mortality rates, and underlying suicide-related risk factors of esophageal cancer patients. Patients suffering esophageal cancer were chosen from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results repository in 1975–2016. Suicide rates as well as standardized mortality rates in the patients were measured. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression had been adopted for establishing the latent suicide risk factors among patients suffering esophageal cancer. On multivariable Cox regression, gender (male vs. female, HR: 6.37), age of diagnosis (70–105 vs. 0–55, HR: 2.69), marital status, race (white race vs. black race, HR: 6.64; American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander vs. black race, HR: 8.60), histologic Grade (Grade III vs. Grade I, HR: 2.36), no surgery performed (no/unknown vs. yes, HR: 2.01), no chemotherapy performed were independent risk factors related to suicide in patients suffering esophageal cancer. Male sex, the older age, unmarried state, non-black race, histologic Grade III, no surgery performed, no chemotherapy performed were strongly related to suicide in patients suffering esophageal cancer.

“…According to relevant investigations, the risk of suicide among cancer patients in different countries has increased [ 19 , 20 , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] ]. In a UK population-based study of 4,722,099 adult patients with cancer, Henson, K. E. et al.…”

“…A historical cohort study involving 6,073,240 Swedes, written by Fang, Fang., concluded that the patients who had recently received a cancer diagnosis had increased risks of both suicides and death from cardiovascular causes, compared with cancer-free persons [42]. Apart from these, the researchers from Norway (HR: 2.5; 95% CI: 1.7e3.8) [40], Lithuania (SMR:1.62; 95% CI: 1.27e2.06) [41], and the United States (SMR: 2.06; 95% CI: 2.00e2.12) also reported the similar results in recent decades,.

Background Throughout the world, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the primary type of liver cancer. The suicide risk was higher among patients with HCC than the general population. Hence, the purpose of this study was to confirm the suicide rates, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), and the potential risk factors associated with suicide among HCC patients. Methods HCC patients were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database during 1975–2016. Suicide rates and SMRs among these patients were calculated, and the general population of the United States (U.S.) during 1975–2016 was used as a reference. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression were taken to find out the underlying risk factors of suicide in HCC patients. Results There were 70 suicides identified among 102,567 individuals with HCC observed for 160,500.88 person years. The suicide rate was 43.61 per 100,000 person-years, and SMR was 2.26 (95% CI: 1.78–2.84). On Cox regression, year of diagnosis (1975–1988 vs . 2003–2016, HR: 3.00, 95% CI: 1.01–8.89, P = 0.047; 1989–2002 vs . 2003–2016, HR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.10–3.34, P = 0.021), gender (male vs. female, HR: 8.72, 95% CI: 2.73–27.81, P < 0.001), age at diagnosis (63–105 years old vs . 0–55 years old, HR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.21–4.31, P = 0.011), race (white race vs . American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, HR: 3.02, 95% CI: 1.35–6.76, P = 0.007) were independent risk factors of suicide among HCC patients. Conclusions Diagnosed in the early years (1975–2002), male sex, the older age (63–105 years old), white race, survival months (＜2 months) were significantly associated with suicide among HCC patients. For the sake of preventing suicide behaviors, the government, clinicians, and family members should take adequate measures to decrease the rate of suicide, especially in patients with high-risk factors of suicide.

“…Five studies reported an association between cancer diagnosis and suicide mortality (76,83,95,97) and suicide attempts (83,105). Two studies focused on cancers specific to men (prostate and male genital cancer respectively; 95, 105) while studies 83 and 97 included a mixed sample of patients with various cancer diagnoses, and study 76 assessed colorectal patients.…”
