Suicidal and Accidental Death Risk Over Time After Diagnosis
The relative increase in suicide risk among ovarian cancer patients was the highest within the first year after initial diagnosis and subsided with longer follow-up time (Supplementary Table.3 ). Ten years after the cancer diagnosis, the suicide risk of cancer patients was equal to that of the general population. The SMR for accidental death declined within the first five years of cancer diagnosis and then elevated after five years (Supplementary Table.4 ). The highest relative risks of suicide and accidental death persisted over time in patients with type II ovarian cancer.
