Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The cancer mortality rate in persons with schizophrenia is higher than it is in the general population. The purpose of this review is to determine why, and to identify solutions. RECENT FINDINGS: The recent literature points to three groups of reasons why mortality is high: patient reasons such as nonadherence to treatment, provider reasons such as diagnostic overshadowing, and health system reasons such as a relative lack of collaboration between medicine and psychiatry. Strategies for cancer prevention, early detection, and effective treatment are available but difficult to put into practice because of significant barriers to change, namely poverty, cognitive and volitional deficits, heightened stress, stigma, and side effects of antipsychotic medication. The literature makes recommendations about surmounting these barriers and also offers suggestions with respect to support and palliative care in advanced stages of cancer. Importantly, it offers examples of effective collaboration between mental health and cancer care specialists. SUMMARY: The high mortality rate from cancer in the schizophrenia population is a matter of urgent concern. Although reasons are identifiable, solutions remain difficult to implement. As we work toward solutions, quality palliative care at the end of life is required for patients with severe mental illness. VIDEO ABSTRACT.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
