Suicides and deaths linked to risky health behavior in childhood cancer patients: A Nordic population-based register study

Cancer Aug 01, 2019

Korhonen LM, Taskinen M, Rantanen M, et al. - Among childhood cancer patients in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, researchers examined the risk of suicide and other risky health behavior–related deaths. They studied causes of death in 29,285 patients diagnosed with cancer before the age of 20 years between 1971 and 2009 compared with a cohort of 146,282 age-matched, sex-matched, and country-matched population comparators using linkage between national cancer, population, and cause-of-death registries. Compared with the general population, childhood cancer patients seem to have an increased risk of risky health behavior–related causes of death. The present research findings indicate the significance of incorporating psychosocial assistance into these individuals' follow-up care.
