Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine whether people with mental disorders are at increased risk for the subsequent development of malignancies compared with people without mental disorders. This is a retrospective cohort study of administrative claims data. The study population included 722,139 adults who filed at least one medical claim from 1989 to 1993. The mental disorder cohort included people with a) one psychiatric hospitalization, b) one outpatient psychiatrist visit, or c) two outpatient mental health claims occurring at least 6 months before a cancer claim. The controls were subjects filing claims for medical services who had no mental health visits. We calculated age-stratified odds ratios (ORs) for development of malignancy. People with mental disorders were no more or less likely to develop a malignancy than those without after adjusting for age (women: OR, 1.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95-1.12; men: OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.97-1.24). People with mental disorders, however, developed cancer at younger ages and had increased odds of primary central nervous system tumors (women: OR, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.40-3.21; men: OR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.22-3.59) and respiratory system cancers (women: OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.13-2.1...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
