BACKGROUND: Despite serious concern over the suicidality of @entity5 @entity1 in clinical oncology practice, few studies have addressed this issue. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the prevalence and predictive factors of suicidal ideation in @entity1 with unresectable @entity2 in a follow-up setting. METHODS: @entity1 with newly diagnosed unresectable @entity1149 participated in this study. Their suicidal ideation was assessed 6 months after disclosure of the @entity5 diagnosis. Predictive factors for suicidal ideation were investigated by assessing a broad range of biomedical and psychosocial factors between the time of disclosure and start of @entity5 therapy (baseline) and 6 months after disclosure of the @entity5 diagnosis (follow-up). RESULTS: Although strong suicidal ideation was rare in this population, 13 (15%) of the 89 subjects who completed the baseline and follow-up ratings had some degree of suicidal ideation 6 months after disclosure of the @entity5 diagnosis. Univariate analysis revealed that significant predictive factors for suicidal ideation were @entity158 at baseline, declining physical function, and the development of a @entity308 . Multivariate analysis indicated that @entity158 at baseline (odds ratio [OR] = 3.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.12-14.69, P = 0.04) and the development of a @entity308 (OR =27.97, 95% CI = 5.18-214.14, P = 0.0003) were the final significant predictive factors. CONCLUSIONS: Suicidal ideation among unresectable @entity2 @entity1 should not be neglected because it is not rare. Comprehensive care consisting of at least @entity158 management and appropriate @entity146 intervention is indispensable to prevent subsequent suicidal ideation.
