Core Tip Patients with bipolar disorder represent a clinically vulnerable population in oncology, facing increased cancer risk, delayed diagnosis, and a high likelihood of mood destabilization during cancer treatment. This review highlights how shared inflammatory and neuroendocrine pathways, together with corticosteroid exposure and complex drug-drug interactions, may worsen both psychiatric and oncological outcomes. Recognizing bipolar disorder as a relevant modifier of cancer care is essential to promote early screening, individualized pharmacological strategies, and integrated psychiatry-oncology collaboration aimed at improving survival and quality of life.
