Yang J, et al. - Given increased risks of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts related to cancer diagnosis and that genital-system cancer accounts for nearly a third of all cancers in males, researchers evaluated the incidence of and risk factors for suicide death in male patients with genital-system cancer in the US using the SEER database. Observations revealed significantly increased risk of suicide death in correlation with age (18–66 vs ≥ 76 years: odds ratio [OR] = 3.300; 67–75 vs ≥ 76 years: OR = 1.832), being unmarried (OR = 1.332), being divorced, separated, or widowed (OR = 1.338), Caucasian (OR = 2.074) and not receiving surgery or having an unknown surgery status (OR = 1.405). An increased risk of suicide death linked to a time of <1 year after the diagnosis (<1 vs ≥ 10 years: OR = 1.761) was an especially vital finding, highlighting the value of recognizing and treating people at risk of suicide as early as possible.
