Intersection of urological and pancreatic cancers and mental health
The effect of cancers of the bladder, prostate, testis and pancreas on patients mental health is becoming increasingly clear, with known increased rates of suicide and poorer cancer outcomes in this cohort. We are therefore looking at combining large cancer and mental health information databases at Guy’s Hospital and the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust to assess these specific issues, which can in future be used for improving diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
