Inclusion in the cancer patient pathway among cancer patients with and without pre-existing mental or substance use disorders: a nationwide register-based study
Cancer patients with pre-existing mental disorder or SUD have an increased risk of non-inclusion in a CPP. If not included in a CPP, they have an increased risk of having unrecognised cancer close to death. By addressing barriers to CPP-inclusion, and enhancing the quality of diagnostic and treatment services, healthcare systems could achieve better cancer outcomes for vulnerable patient groups.
