Abstract
Objective: Severe mental illness (SMI), including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or depression, constitute a risk factor for premature death. SMI patients die more frequently and earlier of cancer than the general population. Chronic inflammation, lack of cancer screening and substance abuse could explain these premature deaths in SMI patients. The role of SMI in cancer incidence remains uncertain. This study aims to identify the temporal occurrence between SMI and cancer in the case of dual pathology, and to investigate possible associations between specific diagnoses of SMI and cancer locations.
Methods: We retrieved medical data on more than 2000 SMI patients in care in 2022 with follow-up for up to 54 years and searched for cancer diagnoses and addictive comorbidities.
Results: Most SMI patients with cancer had been diagnosed with SMI prior to cancer (85.8%). The most represented cancer was breast cancer (27.2%) followed by cutaneous cancer (16.6%) and prostate cancer (10.6%). No associations were found between pre-existing SMI and cancer diagnoses as a whole. No associations were found when considering specific psychiatric diagnoses of SMI and precise cancer locations. Psychoactive substance consumption was similar among the different SMI pathologies and were not associated with specific cancer except for alcohol and breast cancer as well as tobacco and lung cancer.
Conclusion: This study highlights the need to reconsider the complex interaction between SMI and cancer, including their temporal relationship and mutual impact. The link between specific psychiatric diagnoses and cancers should be investigated in larger studies cross-referencing psychiatric files and cancer-specific database.
期刊介绍：
Psycho-Oncology is concerned with the psychological, social, behavioral, and ethical aspects of cancer. This subspeciality addresses the two major psychological dimensions of cancer: the psychological responses of patients to cancer at all stages of the disease, and that of their families and caretakers; and the psychological, behavioral and social factors that may influence the disease process. Psycho-oncology is an area of multi-disciplinary interest and has boundaries with the major specialities in oncology: the clinical disciplines (surgery, medicine, pediatrics, radiotherapy), epidemiology, immunology, endocrinology, biology, pathology, bioethics, palliative care, rehabilitation medicine, clinical trials research and decision making, as well as psychiatry and psychology.
This international journal is published twelve times a year and will consider contributions to research of clinical and theoretical interest. Topics covered are wide-ranging and relate to the psychosocial aspects of cancer and AIDS-related tumors, including: epidemiology, quality of life, palliative and supportive care, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, social work, nursing and educational issues.
Special reviews are offered from time to time. There is a section reviewing recently published books. A society news section is available for the dissemination of information relating to meetings, conferences and other society-related topics. Summary proceedings of important national and international symposia falling within the aims of the journal are presented.
