Tkachenko E, Singer S, Mostaghimi A, et al. - Researchers sought to describe the correlation between mental health and skin cancer in this cross-sectional study that analyzed data retrieved from the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. They found significantly higher odds of skin cancer in those with mental health problems, and even after adjusting for sunburn history, this finding remained in sensitivity analysis. They indicated a correlation between poor mental health and elevated skin cancer prevalence, however, the direction of this association is unclear, as distress of a skin cancer diagnosis may promote mental health problems, while, mental health problems may increase the likelihood of skin cancer or be associated with risk factors like indoor tanning.
