Is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease associated with an increased risk of incident metastatic and nonmetastatic cancer?
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is associated with an increased risk of incident cancer, particularly metastatic cancer at diagnosis in middle-aged adults.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is associated with a significantly increased risk of cancer, specifically metastasis at the time of cancer diagnosis, particularly in middle-aged adults. Recognizing this association could enhance the prevention and treatment of metastatic cancer in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
