Lung, bladder and colorectal cancers are the types of highest risk for suicide. Male, white and over 60 years of age are demographic factors with higher risk for suicide in individuals with cancer. <br><br>CONCLUSION: this review made it possible to verify that cancer may be a risk factor for suicide.
