Abstract

Two recent studies pull data from millions of patient records to provide a comprehensive picture of cancer's psychologic burden on patients with different tumor types and treatment regimens. The findings underscore the elevated risk of suicide and self-harm among patients with cancer and can help oncologists identify those in need of psychiatric care.
