Abstract

Real-world studies provide valuable insights into long-term outcomes across diverse populations. Here, we contextualise recent findings on the association between antipsychotic use and breast cancer risk in women with schizophrenia. We discuss clinical implications and the strengths and limitations of real-world studies in psychiatry. We conclude with future perspectives.
