Abstract
A number of studies have been conducted to explore the survival of gastric cancer (GC) patients, while studies about non-cancer causes of death in patients with GC are not well-conducted. The aim of this study was to deeply investigate the causes of death (COD) in GC patients, especially non-cancer ones. The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to extract information including demographics, tumor characteristics and causes of death of GC patients meeting the inclusion criteria. The patients were stratified by demographic and clinical parameters. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated for all causes of death at different follow-up periods. A total of 116,437 patients with GC diagnosed between 2000 and 2020 were retrieved from the SEER database. Of these, 85,827 deaths occurred during the follow-up period, most of which occurred within 1 year after GC diagnosis. GC (n = 49,746; 58%) was the leading COD, followed by other cancer (n = 21,135; 25%) and non-cancer causes (n = 14,946; 17%). Diseases of heart were the most common non-cancer cause of death, accounting for 30%, followed by cerebrovascular diseases (n = 917; 6%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n = 900; 6%). Although gastric cancer remains the most common cause of death in gastric cancer patients, it should not be ignored that the risk of non-cancer causes tends to increase with the length of the latency period. These findings may provide important insights into the healthcare management of gastric cancer patients at various follow-up intervals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased manyfold and young adults, who have a greater financial burden and occupational stress, comprise a large number. Previous studies have shown mixed results, even distinct results, on suicide rates among thyroid cancer survivors. As the overdiagnosis and overtreatment of thyroid cancer has gradually become a topical issue, the study aims to summarise the risk of suicide among patients with thyroid cancer to provide robust evidence of the effects of thyroid cancer on suicide. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A total of six databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Google Scholar) will be searched according to MeSH, subheadings, and free words, and the planned search date is 31 Jnauary 2024. The search strategy had three parts, such as suicide, cancer and epidemiological studies, moreover, we will collect the detailed suicide information by reviewers' extraction. Standard mortality ratio (SMR) was used as the outcome measure, when SMRs were not available, the risk ratio, HR and detailed number of suicides were extracted to calculate the SMRs. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Institutional Review Board of Peking University People's Hospital provided ethical approval exemption and approved the data collection and subsequent analyses in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki as revised in 2013. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023445542.

Abstract
Cancer is a major public health concern associated with an increased risk of psychosocial distress and suicide. The reasons for this increased risk are still being characterized. The purpose of this study is to highlight existing observational studies on cancer-related suicides in the United States and identify gaps for future research. This work helps inform clinical and policy decision-making on suicide prevention interventions and ongoing research on the detection and quantification of suicide risk among cancer patients. We identified 73 peer-reviewed studies (2010-2022) that examined the intersection of cancer and suicide using searches of PubMed and Embase. Overall, the reviewed studies showed that cancer patients have an elevated risk of suicide when compared to the general population. In general, the risk was higher among White, male, and older cancer patients, as well as among patients living in rural areas and with lower socioeconomic status. Future studies should further investigate the psychosocial aspects of receiving a diagnosis of cancer on patients' mental health as well as the impact of new treatments and their availability on suicide risk and disparities among cancer patients to better inform policies.

Abstract
Mortality from non cancer causes in patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC) still unclear. This study evaluated the causes and risk factors of non cancer death during different follow-up periods after GBC diagnosis. Non cancer causes of death for GBC patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2017 in Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database were analyzed and standardized mortality rates (SMR) for each non cancer death were calculated. Predictors for non cancer death were identified through multivariate competing risk analysis. A total 11,927 GBC patients were identified for further analysis, 9393 died during follow up. The largest proportion of non cancer deaths occurred > 3 years after diagnosis (39.4%). Most common non cancer cause were cardiovascular disease (43.3%), followed by other cause of death (34.4%) and infectious diseases (8.6%). Compared with US general population, GBC patients has higher risk of death from disease of heart (SMR, 1.58; 95%CI, 1.41-1.75), septicemia (SMR,3.21; 95%CI, 2.27-4.40), diabetes mellitus (SMR,1.97; 95%CI, 1.43-2.63), alone with other causes. Non cancer causes accounted for a significant proportion of deaths during the follow-up period after GBC diagnosis. The risk of non cancer death is higher in GBC patients than in the general population. Our study provides comprehensive assessment of death from non cancer cause in GBC patients, which has important implications for health management in GBC patients.

Thyroid and renal cancers: A bidirectional association. Front Oncol 2022; 12:951976.

Abstract
There is a deep interrelation between the thyroid gland and the kidney parenchyma, with dysfunction of the first leading to significant changes in renal metabolism and vice versa. Given the recognition of cancer as a systemic disease, the raise of thyroid tumors and the common association of several malignancies, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and other, with an increased risk of kidney disease, public health alert for these conditions is warranted. A systematic review of the current evidence on the bidirectional relationship between thyroid and renal cancers was conducted including 18 studies, highlighting patient’s characteristics, histology, time for secondary malignancy to develop from the first diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. A total of 776 patients were identified; median age was 64 years (range: 7–76 years). Obesity and family history were identified as the most common risk factors, and genetic susceptibility was suggested with a potential strong association with Cowden syndrome. Controversy on chemo and radiotherapy effects was found, as not all patients were previously exposed to these treatments. Men were more likely to develop kidney cancer after a primary thyroid malignancy, with 423/776 (54%) experiencing renal disease secondarily. Median time after the first malignancy was 5.2 years (range: 0–20 years). With the advancement of current oncological therapy, the prognosis for thyroid cancer patients has improved, although there has been a corresponding rise in the incidence of multiple secondary malignancy within the same population, particularly concerning the kidney. Surgery can achieve disease-free survival, if surveillance follow-up allows for an early localized form, where radical treatment is recommended.

Abstract
The proportion of non-cancer death in patients with esophagus cancer (EC) still increasing, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD) related death. The aim of this study was assess non-cancer causes of death and identified independent risk factors of CVD related death in EC patients. Patients diagnosed with EC were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result database (SEER) database for analysis. Standardized mortality rates (SMRs) for non-EC deaths were calculated, the risk of death were assessed and compared with US general population. Multivariate competitive risk analysis were performed to select independent risk factors for death from CVD in EC patients. A total of 43739 EC patients were enrolled and 35139 died during follow-up, of which 4248 died from non-cancer cause of death. The risk of non-cancer death in EC patients was 2.27-fold higher than in the general population (SMR=2.27; 95% CI, 2.20-2.34). CVD were the most important cause of non-cancer death in EC patients, accounting for 43.4% of non-cancer of deaths. Compare with the general population, EC patients have higher risk of death from disease of heart (SMR, 2.24; 95% CI, 2.13-2.35), pneumonia and influenza (SMR, 2.92; 95% CI, 2.50-3.39), septicemia (SMR, 5.01; 95% CI, 4.30-5.79), along with other causes. Patients with advanced age and patients who received radiotherapy has higher risk of death caused by CVD, patients with female sex, poor differentiated and undifferentiated, regional and distant stage, married, diagnosed between 2010-2016 has lower risk of CVD related death, compared with patients without any treatment measures, patients received chemotherapy alone has lower risk of death from CVD. Non-cancer cause of death has become an important cause of death in EC patients. Improving public awareness of the major risk factors for non-cancer death is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have demonstrated that patients with a cancer diagnosis have an elevated risk of suicide and cardiovascular death. However, the effects of the diagnosis of multiple primary cancers (MPCs) on the risk of suicide and cardiovascular death remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the risk of suicide and cardiovascular death among patients with MPCs in the United States. Methods Patients with a single or MPC(s) between 1975 and 2016 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database in a retrospective cohort study. Mortality rates and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) of suicides and cardiovascular diseases among patients with MPCs were estimated. Results Of the 645,818 patients diagnosed with MPCs included in this analysis, 760 and 36,209 deaths from suicides and cardiovascular diseases were observed, respectively. The suicide and cardiovascular-disease mortality rates were 1.89- (95% CI, 1.76-2.02) and 1.65-times (95% CI, 1.63-1.67), respectively, that of the general population. The cumulative mortality rate from both suicides and cardiovascular diseases among patients with MPCs were significantly higher than those of patients with a single primary cancer (Both p < 0.001). In patients with MPCs diagnosed asynchronously, the cumulative incidence rates of suicides and cardiovascular deaths were higher than those diagnosed synchronously. Among all MPCs, cancers of the pancreas and esophagus had the highest SMRs of suicide (5.98 and 5.67, respectively), while acute myeloid leukemia and brain cancer had the highest SMRs of cardiovascular diseases (3.87 and 3.62, respectively). The SMR of suicide was highest within 1 year after diagnosis, while that of cardiovascular diseases was highest 5 years after diagnosis. Conclusions This study showed that the mortality rates from suicides and cardiovascular diseases among patients with MPCs were higher than those with a single primary cancer. Therefore, our results underscore the need for psychological assessment and targeted preventive interventions for suicides and cardiovascular diseases among patients with MPCs.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the non-cancer causes of death (COD) in cancer patients with synchronous bone metastasis (BM) that is based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Methods The retrospective cohort study included malignant cancer patients with synchronous BM diagnosed from 2010 to 2018 in the SEER database. The frequencies and proportion of non-cancer COD were calculated and analyzed in different genders, ages, and races subgroups. Results A total of 97,997 patients were deceased and included into the current study and 6,782 patients were died of non-cancer causes with a male predominance (N = 4,515, 66.6%). Around half of deaths (N = 3,254, 48.0%) occurred within 6 months after diagnosis while 721 patients were deceased after 3 years. Lung and bronchus cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, and liver cancer were proved to be the top five cancer types resulting in non-cancer caused death. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were the leading non-cancer cause of death (N = 2,618), followed by COPD and associated conditions (N = 553) and septicemia, infectious and parasitic diseases (N = 544). Sub-analyses stratified by gender, age and race were performed and the similar results with slightly difference were observed. Conclusions Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were the main non-cancer cause of death in cancer patients with synchronous BM. Other non-cancer causes included COPD, septicemia, infectious and parasitic diseases, and so on. These findings should be considered by physicians. Physicians can counsel cancer patients with BM regarding survivorship with death causes screening and focus on prevention of non-cancer deaths.
