The current results of our study indicate lower risk of overall cancer incidence and mortality in male patients with schizophrenia, while female patients had a higher mortality risk, alongside variations in the risk of different cancer types. This information is important not only for patients, but for healthcare specialists to develop effective disease-specific preventive interventions and programmes.
