The results of this study show that teenagers with cancer are at higher risk of experiencing suicidal ideation compared to healthy teenagers. Family support significantly reduces the risk. Practical implications of these findings include the development of more integrated psychological support programs in adolescent cancer care, as well as training for health professionals in recognizing and treating signs of suicidal ideation.
