The suicide risk of people diagnosed with cancer is two times higher than the general population. The number of cases of diagnosed cancer is estimated to rise by 70% over the next two decades. Evidence-based prevention strategies are necessary to protect this vulnerable group of individuals. The purpose of this review was to find out the risk factors of suicide and which types of interventions can serve as prevention strategies. Psychosocial interventions, pharmacotherapy and physical activity can play a preventive role in reducing psychosocial and physical risk factors, such as mental disorders, poor social support, poor performance status and pain. Further research is needed to develop effective suicide prevention strategies for cancer patients.
被诊断患有癌症的人群自杀风险比普通人群高出两倍。预计在未来二十年里，确诊癌症病例数将增加70%。基于证据的预防策略对于保护这一弱势群体很有必要。本综述的目的是找出自杀的风险因素以及哪些类型的干预措施可作为预防策略。心理社会干预、药物治疗和体育活动在降低心理社会和身体风险因素（如精神障碍、社会支持不足、身体状况差和疼痛）方面可发挥预防作用。需要进一步研究来为癌症患者制定有效的自杀预防策略。
