Lay Summary :
People with severe mental disorders have higher mortality after a cancer diagnosis. We will use a linkage of CRIS with local cancer registry, mortality, and hospital episode statistics (HES), to see if people with mental health disorders or dementia have a higher risk of cancer, and/or less adequate treatment, and/or worse treatment outcomes.
