ScienceTechyNews: Mental health state associated with higher death rates for prostate and urological cancers

Patients with prostate, bladder or kidney cancers are at greater risk of dying if they have had psychiatric care prior to the cancer treatment. In addition, patients with these cancers show greater suicide risk than the general population, even once the data is corrected for previous psychiatric care. These are the findings of a study presented at the European Association of Urology congress in Barcelona, highlighting the need for psychiatric care to be integrated into cancer treatment.
