Five-year observed survival was about 43% for all cancer entities, 40-68% for stroke and 26-52% for heart failure; relative survival was 50-57% for cancer, ~50% for stroke, and ~62% for heart failure.

Overview

Cancer prognosis is not necessarily worse than stroke or HF; challenges assumptions of uniquely poor cancer outcomes and underscores CV disease burden.

Structured PICO

How does the long-term survival of cancer patients compare to that of patients with heart failure and stroke?

Population
Patients with cancer (lung, breast, prostate, colorectal), heart failure, and stroke from 20 large population- and hospital-based studies.

Observed and relative age- and sex-adjusted 5-year survival rateshard clinical

Long-term survival and prognosis of cancer is not necessarily worse than that of heart failure and stroke, highlighting the severe prognostic impact of cardiovascular diseases.

Limitations

  • Comparison of the prognostic impact of the different diseases is limited
