Mortality following cancer diagnosis among people with non-affective psychoses: mediation by stage at diagnosis and time to treatment initiation
Our findings suggest that a relatively small proportion of the effect of NAPD on mortality is mediated by stage at diagnosis, while time to treatment initiation does not mediate that effect. This excess risk is potentially mediated by other patient, provider, and system-related factors in cancer care.
