Researchers have discovered new insights into the relationship between cancer surgery outcomes and behavioral health disorders (BHDs),Ìýpublishing their findings in theÌý.
The data analyzed by researchers revealed a significant trend: patients with BHDs were less likely to undergo surgical removal of cancerous tissues. Furthermore, those who did have surgery faced a higher probability of complications, extended hospital stays, and readmission within 90 days following surgery. This trend was coupled with a 7.76% increase in healthcare costs, which is particularly concerning since many patients with BHDs are from socially vulnerable communities and often rely on publicly financed healthcare, according to the authors.
