N2  - Several large cancer registry data based studies have demonstrated an increased risk of suicide among cancer patients compared with the general population.[1] The majority of studies reported that cancers of the lung generally carry the highest rates of patient suicides. In this study, we explored whether suicide risk is affected by a lung cancer diagnosis among cancer patients in Lithuania in relation to demographic patients and tumour characteristics and time since diagnosis. 19 781 primary lung cancer cases (16 620 men and 3 161 women) diagnosed between 1998 and 2012 were included in the analysis.
