N2  - A high suicide mortality risk has been documented among a population-based cohort of 27 123 cancer patients resident in central Italy where the general suicide rate is low. Forty-one suicides were observed (SMR = 2.36) which were only 0.2% of all deaths. However, the highest risk (SMR = 27.7) during the first 6 months after diagnosis, represents a greater contrast with the general population than has been observed in other studies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
