Does cardiovascular mortality overtake cancer mortality during cancer survivorship in older survivors of 9 common cancers?
Cardiovascular mortality overtakes primary cancer mortality in older survivors of 9 common cancers as time passes, emphasizing the need for long-term cardiovascular care in this population.
In older survivors of 9 common cancers, cardiovascular mortality becomes dominant over mortality from the primary cancer, though not always over total cancer mortality, as time passes since cancer diagnosis.
Strongman et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
