Childhood Cancer

Risks for suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and death by suicide were primarily identified as late psychological effects of pediatric cancer diagnosis and treatments. Age of diagnosis was identified as a risk factor such that those diagnosed under the age of four were at greater risk for severe mental health events and suicide attempts, and those diagnosed under the age of 14 were at greater risk for death by suicide.
