Cancer Incidence Among People With a Prior Hospital Record of Depression in Scotland, 1991–2019: A Cohort Study
We identified an entrenched disparity in cancer incidence by depression status. Further research should identify underlying mechanisms and inform cancer prevention strategies in this vulnerable group. Meanwhile, health care professionals have a key role to play in optimising physical health care for people with depression.
