Does cardiovascular mortality outweigh cancer mortality in long-term cancer survivors?
Cardiovascular mortality becomes a greater risk than cancer mortality as survival time increases in cancer patients, highlighting the need for cardio-oncology care.
CV death gradually outweighs cancer death as survival time increases for most patients with cancer. Both the cardio-oncologist and cardio-oncology care should be involved to reduce CV deaths in long-term cancer survivors.
