The association between antipsychotic use and gastric cancer risk remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between antipsychotic exposure and the incidence of gastric cancer.Using a nested case-control design, a total of 34 In a Danish cohort of schizophrenics consisting of 6,168 patients followed during 1957-1980, the incidence of certain types of cancer has been shown to be significantly decreased (5). From this cohort 30 males with lung cancer, 21 males with bladder cancer, 17 females with cancer of the uterine
OBJECTIVE
Some antipsychotics increase prolactin levels, which might increase the risk of breast cancer. Existing evidence is conflicting and based on sparse data, especially for the increasingly used second-generation antipsychotics. We conducted a nationwide case-control study of the association
Neuroleptics are commonly used in the management of delirium. Limited information is available regarding the dosage requirements and efficacy of neuroleptics in the palliative care setting. We determined the type and dose of neuroleptic use by delirium subtype. The medical records of 99 inpatients
Delirium is the most common and distressing neuropsychiatric syndrome in cancer patients. Few evidence-based treatment options are available due to the paucity of high quality of studies. In this review, we shall examine the literature on the use of neuroleptics to treat delirium in patients with
Amisulpride and risperidone are potent dopamine D2 receptor blocking atypical antipsychotics that can cause hyperprolactinemia. Preclinical evidence shows that chronic administration of antipsychotics can cause pituitary adenomas in female mice. To investigate the clinical relevance in this finding,
OBJECTIVE
The present study was designed to identify conditions that would increase the sensitivity of resistant cancer cells to anti-mitotic drugs.
METHODS
Previously, we showed that KBV20C cancer cells highly resistant to Halaven® (HAL) were sensitized by co-treatment with fluphenazine (FLU). In
BACKGROUND
The use of antipsychotics can result in elevated prolactin levels or hyperprolactinemia. An increasing number of studies suggests that prolactin plays a role in mammary carcinogenesis, leading to concerns about a possible relationship between antipsychotics and breast

Neuroleptics are frequently used in patients with advanced cancer. Most relevant and practical aspects of their use in supportive cancer care are reviewed, to assist the clinical oncologist and palliative care specialist when prescribing these drugs. This article reviews pharmacological properties,
OBJECTIVE

BACKGROUND
Important data was recently published on the potential genotoxic or carcinogenic effects of antipsychotics, as well as on their cytotoxic properties on cancer cells, that must be considered by psychiatrists in the benefit/risk ratio of their prescriptions.
OBJECTIVE

Repurposing existing drugs for cancer treatment is an effective strategy. An approved antipsychotic drug, trifluoperazine (TFP), has been reported to have potential anticancer effects against several cancer types. Here, we investigated the effect and molecular mechanism of TFP in colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND
Neuroleptics are frequently used by palliative care specialists to treat delirium. In this study, we determined the median daily neuroleptic dose and prescription pattern in a cohort of unselected advanced cancer in-patients with delirium.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the charts of
Neuroleptics are commonly used for treating delirium as a common problem in terminally ill cancer patients. However, prescribing patterns are believed to substantially vary among health professionals. The aim of this study is to determine the pattern of prescribing neuroleptics for treating delirium
