Nearly one-quarter and one-tenth of the patients with cancer had suicide ideation and attempted suicide in the previous 12 months, respectively. Being female, advanced cancer stage, anxiety, and psychological distress were statistically significantly associated with suicidal ideation. Anxiety and depression were statistically associated with attempting suicide. It is important that oncology professionals routinely perform patient suicidal risk assessment. Consultation services need to be strengthened with psychiatric professionals in cancer treatment centers
