Why the study?
Is simultaneous off-pump CABG and malignant tumor resection safe, and what factors affect long-term survival in patients with curable cancer and CAD?
Is simultaneous off-pump CABG and malignant tumor resection safe, and what factors affect long-term survival in patients with curable cancer and CAD?
Simultaneous off-pump CABG and tumor resection is safe, with long-term prognosis driven primarily by tumor stage rather than the primary site of the tumor.
Supports combined off-pump CABG-tumor resection in selected patients; leaves open prospective validation of stage as dominant prognostic factor.
For patients with potentially curable cancer and surgically correctable CAD, the safety of simultaneous surgery is confident. The primary site of tumor location does not significantly affect the long-term survival of these patients. The long-term survival rate strongly correlates with tumor stage.
