BACKGROUND: Although mortality rates are elevated in psychiatric patients relative to their healthy counterparts, little is known about the impact of mental health on survival in people with cancer.METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 16498 Swedish men with cancer, survival was worse in those with a history of psychiatric hospital admissions: multiply-adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) comparing cancer mortality in men with and without psychiatric admissions: 1.59 (1.39, 1.83).CONCLUSION: Survival in cancer patients is worse among those with a history of psychiatric disease. The mechanisms underlying this association should be further explored.
