Abstract

Patients with terminal cancer are thought to be at high risk of committing suicide. In a population of 17,964 patients with terminal cancer cared for at home by 12 palliative-care teams, five patients committed suicide. We speculate that continuing care made up by symptomatic treatment and psychosocial support given to these patients may reduce the risk.
