What is the risk of cardiovascular disease and subsequent overall survival among survivors of adult-onset cancer?
Adult-onset cancer survivors who develop cardiovascular disease have poor overall survival, highlighting the need for targeted prevention strategies based on cancer subtype and risk factors.
The magnitude of subsequent CVD risk varies according to cancer subtype and by the presence of CVRFs. Overall survival in survivors who develop CVD is poor, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies for individuals at highest risk of developing CVD.
