Increased Risk of Suicide among Cancer Survivors Who Developed a Second Malignant Neoplasm

Figure 3

Change of the suicide standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) over follow-up periods among patients with first malignant neoplasm (FMN) or second malignant neoplasm (SMN), compared with the general population. The expected number for suicide deaths during the study period was derived from age (5 year groups), sex, and calendar year (1 year groups) suicide death rate for the USA.
